[users@httpd] Not seeing helloworld.html in /var/www/htdocs

[myles dolan <my...@orange.fr>]

Good Morning

I have a basic Hello World html in the apache document area /var/www/htdocs but I cant see it using my firefoxnavigator  (using http://localhost/myworld.html or http://www.example.com/myworld.html). Localhost and 127.0.0.1 ping without problem.

The important lnes in http.conf are

DocumentRoot "/var/www/htdocs"
............

ServerName 127.0.0.1

..........

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs
    ServerName www.example.com
</VirtualHost>

I do restart the apache daemon each time I change http.conf. and the processes seem to be healthy. 

Can anybody tell me what to try?
PS using Linux Slackware 10.2
