Starting Apache 2

[X96 Web Design]

I've installed apache2 on Ubuntu 9.04, using apt-get install apache2

It used to work, but when I go to http://localhost, it says "Failed To Connect". Usually that means it's not started, so I went to start it using sudo apache2 -k start. But It won't work... Am I doing something wrong? Here's what I get:

apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}

I installed it under the same user as I'm trying to start it as. I'm not sure what's wrong...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Never Mind - I was using the wrong format...

I had to use:

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

Solved!
