Problems with Apache2

[bill purvis]

I've just installed Apache2 on my system. This is intended
for use only locally as I develop and test web page material.
Following the install, there appears to be 5 servers up and
running:

felix junk$ ps aux | fgrep apache
root      6185  0.0  1.3  20020  5972 ?        Ss   14:55   
0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data  6186  0.0  0.7  20020  3200 ?        S    14:55   
0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data  6187  0.0  0.7  20020  3200 ?        S    14:55   
0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data  6191  0.0  0.7  20020  3200 ?        S    14:55   
0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data  6192  0.0  0.7  20020  3200 ?        S    14:55   
0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data  6193  0.0  0.7  20020  3200 ?        S    14:55   
0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
bill      6458  0.0  0.1   1720   456 pts/1    R+   15:05   0:00 grep -F 
apache

However, I can't establish any connection to them.
Firefox eventually times out. I tried using telnet
to communicate but again, no response. I restarted apache2
(/etc/init.d/apache2 restart) and notice an error message
about being unable to determine the server name so I
inserted:

ServerName localhost:80

into the apache2.conf (at the end), but still no joy.
Anyone with any Apache experience? Any suggestions
welcomed.
