I had this problem once or twice before, but the only way I could solve it was to reinstall the server.

Obviously this is not the best thing to do, so if anyone has any less drastic solution I'd also like to hear it.

Have you changed your document root? If so, you must change the directory as well. On Apache2.0.43 the default root is [apache root]/htdocs/. You will find the changes in [apache root]/conf/httpd.conf file, lines 305 and 330. After that you will be able to pull up http://localhost as whatever page you want.

Remember that if you are using index.php as your document, to add that in the DirectoryIndex on line392.
