[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS localhost* and internet fail - where to ...

[unsolicited]

Ah, yes, the old ... we're looking for it in a different place now, problem!

Yep. Everyone who has lived from apache to apache2 has had to live down 
this problem.

Welcome to open source! Where what you thought you knew may no longer 
be, but you'll forever be getting search results on old stuff that no

Glad it's working for you.

Hint for future (as you wrestle with getting back to where you were): 
When you google for stuff, use apache2 as a search term, not just apache.
