[users@httpd] can't see index.html on simple websites

Hello,

    I am trying to learn Apache, and have the following setup:

    Windows 2000 with Apache 2.0.45 installed as a service; I can go to 
localhost just fine.

    I have modified my etc/hosts to have two DNS names mapped to the 
same IP address, as in:

10.10.32.122    www.butterthlies.com            # test host one
10.10.32.122    sales.butterthlies.com            # test host two

    (if this looks familiar, I am using "Apache:  The Definitive Guide" 
as my study text)

    I have the following httpd.conf:

# Minimal configuration file
ServerName 10.10.32.122
Listen 81
DocumentRoot c:/cygwin/usr/www/APACHE3/site.first/htdocs
PIDFile logs/httpd.pid
LoadModule log_config_module "c:/Program Files/Apache 
Group/Apache2/modules/mod_log_config.so"
TransferLog logs/access.log
ErrorLog logs/error.log

    I start Apache like this:

apache -d ./site.first (I am in the parent directory of site.first)

    Apache starts up fine, since there are entries in the PID file and 
the error log for the processes, which map to those in the Task Manager.

    Now, when I try to go to "www.butterthlies.com:81" from either 
Netscape or Internet Explorer, I get
"The requested URL / was not found on this server." from Netscape and 
"Page cannot be displayed" from IE.  If I go to 
"http://www.butterthlies.com:81/index.html", Netscape shows me the raw 
HTML, while IE shows me the formatted HTML, from which I can navigate 
normally.

    I thought at first that the Apache service was creating some 
conflict, but shutting it down and trying all this again did not help 
the problem.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance to all who respond.

    Kevin

Thanks, Gordon, unfortunately, that didn't seem to fix it  :-(

    Apache starts up fine, since there are entries in the PID file and the 
error log for the processes, which map to those in the Task Manager.

Im not sure but if you change "listen" to 80 - & re-start the server, you 
wint need the :81 at the end (most servers automatically scan port 80 ? )

As to the raw HTML thing - Im not sure on that - Sorry
