Jon,

By "the webpage cannot be found", do you mean a "404 Not Found"  
response? What URL are you using to make the request? I ask this  
because it is important to ensure, first of all, that your request is  
actually being received by Apache. If it is, there should be an entry  
in both the access and error logs with information about the request,  
such as the path of the file that Apache believes you are requesting.  
Unless you have specified an alternate location, such as with the  
"ErrorLog" directive, then I think you will find the error log in / 
var/log/apache2.
