[users@httpd] Follow on ->start-up problems Apache2 Win XP

[GC...@aol.com]

I've scanned my machine for adware, tried ports left right and centre  and 
configured my McAfee fire wall; on/off/applications allowed and  not/addresses 
allowed and not. I've even installed Micrrosoft Loopback adaptor.  Tried 
running while connected and without connection to my ISP.
 
Then all of a sudden Apache started in the console. 
 
But then I tried to repeat the exercise to no avail. Around 1 in 15  attempts 
are successful, why does it sometimes bind and listen and other times  not? 
 
 
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>apache

Ah...i forgot that you might not have this configured

go to C:\{windows directory}\system32\drivers\etc\ and open the
"hosts" file with no extension.

Check this, if it doesn't exist, create it, and if it does exist,
check for and/or add the following line.

127.0.0.1 localhost

that should help...
