Problem running 3rd party web server on XP home

I am trying to install a simple web server on XP home to test my ASP
pages locally.

I installed Sambar server months ago and when I went to
http://localhost/ it worked perfectly. Then I uninstalled it for some
stupid reason!

Now when I try to install any server (Sambar, Apache, Abyss, etc.) and
try to access http://localhost/ my browser just times out and can't
find index.html.

I'm sure this is a very simple problem but I just cannot figure it out
and would be very grateful for anyones help.

Cheers

hi nath
Have you checked netstat -an from command prompt to check that server port
is open (port 80)
Is your main page called index.html?
are you running a firewall? If so turn it off while testing
