Apache question

This is going to sound really stupid but is there any way to run Apache web server and use the internet at the same time? At the moment when it's running I cannot load any external web pages

Also, is it possible to use the server without being connected to the internet (I'm testing out some of my website at home - It's PHP)?


Thanks for any input,

The webserver catches any traffic on port 80, that's why.

Couple of options...

1) Use a proxy server that listens on a different port. There are tons of anonymous proxies out there, just search for one on google.

2) Have the webserver listen on a different port (modifyable in the httpd.conf file of the webserver's directory).

3) Yes, for local use, the webserver should work just fine offline.

Yeah, it works great as a local webserver. I have a separate machine, a P200 that runs LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). I develop all my pages and then upload them.
