Hi Istvan,

Under "HTTP Service" are two settings:

"Disabled/Enabled" ... choose 'enabled' to have the server start at boot.
"Open Firewall on Selected Ports" ... enable this checkbox.

Under "Settings ... Summary":

"Listen on	|	80	"
"Modules		|	...	"
"Hosts		|	linux	"
"Default Host	|	linux	"

You use the "Edit" button to configure these settings as follows:
Highlight "Listen on" and click "Edit" select the port you want.
Highlight "Modules" and click "Edit" to enable the modules (examples: SSI, 
Ruby, Perl, etc.) that you want.
For "localhost" operation only, the hosts listed should already be populated 
and adequate.

To check if Apache2 is running or to shut it down or restart it (to activate 
config changes) or to start it if you've previously shut it down (as root/su, 
of course):

rcapache2 status
rcapache2 stop
rcapache2 restart
rcapache2 start

hth & regards,

Carl
