    Hi,

    I just installed Apache 2 on Mac OSX 10.5 (PowerPC).

    I started the server with the command :

    # /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

    when I look into activity monitor, I can see 6 instances of "httpd" process running. Is that normal?

    As well, when the web server is running, I can access my website from 3 differents addresses :

    1. 127.0.0.1 (I set the httpd.conf file to listen on 127.0.0.1:80)
    2. 192.168.2.2 (My IP address from the router)
    3. localhost

    When I close my internet connection, 192.168.2.2 doesn't work anymore to access my web site.

    Thanks for your help,
    Please be kind, this might seem easy, but i'm just beginning with this stuff.
    Thanks,
    Joey

    Yeah I think that sounds right. I mean, I have closer to thirteen processes running. And if you have it set to localhost like you have, then yeah, you should access from '127.0.0.1' and 'localhost' because they are the same thing, and you're own IP address from the router as well since that is youre local system.
