Hi Scott,

In order to eliminate network/firewall/dns issues you may want to set 
your ServerName to localhost and your Listen directive to 127.0.0.1:80 
in your httpd.conf.  Make sure you are accepting connections to 
localhost port 80 or just turn off iptables/ip6tables (make sure you are 
not connected to the internet).  You may also be having policy issues 
with selinux so you may want to set it to permissive or disabled.

Without making any other changes to the config file you should be able 
to see the Fedora/Apache splash page and the manual itself should be 
accessable at http://localhost/manual.

Once that is done and you verify that it is working you can start 
bringing up the other services one at a time.

Hope that is helpful,
:m)
