Re: Apache: Connection refused ...

Several possibilities. Can you "telnet localhost", if not, does not
sound like an apache problem.

You should be looking for apache not httpd:

root       636  0.0  0.3  3592  396 ?        S    Jun14   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache
www-data   643  0.0  0.2  3720  368 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache
www-data   644  0.0  0.2  3680  312 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache
www-data   645  0.0  0.2  3720  368 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache
www-data   646  0.0  0.2  3720  368 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache
www-data   647  0.0  0.9  3680 1216 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache
www-data  4724  0.0  0.2  3720  380 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache
www-data  6118  0.0  0.2  3660  316 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache
www-data  6303  0.0  0.6  3616  888 ?        S    Jun14   0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/apache

Possible problem with your /etc/apache/access.conf file. In particular the
<Directory /var/www> section. Probably should look something like this:

<Directory /var/www>

# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".

# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you (or at least, not yet).

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo", 
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"

AllowOverride None

# Controls who can get stuff from this server.

order allow,deny
allow from all

</Directory>
