Still not working after doing your suggestions. Appears it may be 
apache2 related. Went back to Ray Levanthal's suggestions and it seems 
that apache is not running now.  His suggestion to create a hello.txt 
file in /var/www did work but:
"/etc/init.d/phpsysinfo status" on the cli gave a fresh cursor; no output
sudo /etc/init.d/phpsysinfo start gives:

  * Starting web server apache2 

                         apache2: Could not reliably determine the 
server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I'm not server or apache knowledgeable.  Does the above suggest why
apache2 is not running?  I've tried every version of <server name> in
my SM browser and only get a:
  404 Not Found
The requested URL '/phpsysinfo' was not found on this server.
thttpd/2.25b 29dec2003

I have no idea how to get apache2 to run and could use some expert 
suggestions.  Thanks for your input.
BTW, /var/log/apache2 logs were 0 bits. Checked several other logs via
cat <log.file> | grep apache2 with no output.  I'm lost on this.
