[NBLUG/talk] localhost: connection refused

[Christopher Wagner]

Yes, but what's the error?

Perhaps try:
route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo

Though, I should add that in checking my routing table, I don't have an
entry for loopback:

isadministrator:~# route -v
Kernel IP routing table

I submit that your problem may not be in your routing table, but
potentially with a firewall being active (perhaps you might post the
output of 'iptables --list' and 'nmap localhost'?) or that apache is set
to only listen on your IP address (192.168.0.12, I think) rather that on
any interface that the box has.
