Dragon,

	No, the problem is with your localhost interface which isnt up.
Here is what my 'lo' interface looks like in the 'ifconfig' output :

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:9241 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:9241 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 

	Note the status which says that it is 'UP' and 'RUNNING' -
something which is not present in your output. I would suggest that you
simply run 'ifup lo' and look at whether the interface has come up using
'ifconfig' . If it has, then retry with Apache again.
