Doh!,,,, talked too soon. I hate it when I do that. Ok, as it turned
out, this only worked temporarily until I had to reboot the machine.
Then the
httpd.conf file would not load properly ( I guess it did not like port
80 ) and I was back to getting the standard connection refused error.
Funny enough though, after I removed "port 80" from the script I was
accepting connections again.
I am not sure why this is working now as I have not really made any
changes other than changing the file, saving, changing the file back
and saving again. Very strange.
Anyway, I have my fingers crossed as I keep expecting to get
connection refused! Keeping my fingers crossed...
