I have Apache 2.2.3 installed on this server, and when I try loading its webpage, it does not load. I just get a loading sign that it is trying to connect but no connection has been made.

I check the conf file and it is listening on all ips on port 80. It also has a proper vhost file as well as has a simple text html file for the index display "Test".

Some Additional Information:

It neither works for the domain or the ip address or even localhost from the server. I did a wget of localhost and got nothing

[root@server conf]# netstat -tulpn | grep ':80'
tcp        0      0 :::80                       :::*                        LISTEN      6256/httpd

My Apache conf: http://pastebin.com/MRDA8EkQ
Ip Tables Config: http://pastebin.com/nukXe5sD

Which you use to browse: domain or IP? Is there any firewall? Post the main and virtual host configuration file? – quanta Sep 29 '11 at 7:06
Could you append your question with the output of netstat -tulpn | grep ':80' and iptables --list -n | grep '80' – Kenny Rasschaert Sep 29 '11 at 7:21
Here are the replies: tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 6256/httpd – John Garretson Sep 29 '11 at 7:44

It looks like your firewall needs to allow access on port 80 try 

/sbin/iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

and see if that works. If it does then save your firewall configuration with

/sbin/service iptables save

1) What is the output of your error_log after you restart Apache ?

2) Can you do telnet localhost 80 ? If so, try to do GET /<enter>

3) It is surprising that iptables block requests from localhost as well
