[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS localhost* and internet fail - where to start^h^h^h^h^h continue?

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Apache should be listening on a network socket, not a unix socket.

Do this:

$ netstat -tunlp | grep apach
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*
LISTEN      24311/apache2
The above is the PID of the Apache process, and it is listening on port 80.

If you use wget with HTTP headers, you will see what the server is sending
(if it is sending anything). That way you know if it is Firefox or
something else.

$ wget --server-response -O /dev/null localhost
--2014-04-10 13:40:22--  http://localhost/
Resolving localhost (localhost)... ::1, 127.0.0.1
