An other wired thing, when I browse to http:/ipnumber i get the standard apache page : Welcome to Your New Home in Cyberspace! etc etc
but when i do a ps -ef|grep apache i don't get any procceses runining with the name apache. I seem like apache is runing but i can't seem to stop of start it, or am i mistaken ?????

It is not running under the name httpd is it? I have in the post noticed that sometimes the main apache program is called this.
