What good do you propose that would do? Unless he isn't running on port 80,
which he obviously is doing.

You have to add the port number for example: http://localhost:4000/

I've seen this "problem" around, and actually "suffer" it currently on one
machine, but I haven't cared enough to look into it.
Either it is because "localhost" doesn't resolve to 127.0.0.1, but unless
you messed with I cannot see why it wouldn't, or it could be related to what
interface(s) you have told Apache to listen to.
I saw Barbara Post's reply, and if I remember correctly, this file might be
named "HOSTS.SAM" which you need to rename to simply "HOSTS".

The file should be named hosts (no extension).

The ".sam" means "sample" (according to previous discussion on this list),
so it isn't "active" until you rename it to just "hosts".
I'm not too good on Windows 9x/ME, but I don't think that this is your
problem. If the problem would have been related to this file, it would be
because this files already was "active" and didn't specify localhost, or
gave it the wrong IP.
You may be able to get around it, by correctly configure the hosts file, but
there is still something wrong in there. I cannot say what, though.

Thanks to all who responded
But my problem have not yet been resolved yet.
In this folder >> C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS I don't have the /etc/ folder
in it. My Hosts.sam file is stored in the WINDOWS directory and it have the
required entry
127.0.0.1 localhost
but when I typed the http://localhost it is not resolving to 127.0.0.1 it
still got the following error
Connection Failed
The system returned:
(111) Connection refused
what will be wrong with my system
please help
Thanks in advance
