httpd Doesn't Seem To Work In Fedora 11

This morning I wanted to play with Fedora 11's httpd and get some 
content up. I last worked with the web server on 04/11 according to the 
access logs. I was successful at that time and was able to bring up the 
expected "test page".

Today, when I brought up Firefox, it gave me am "unable to connect" 
message for both localhost and the fully qualified server hostname 
defined in httpd.conf. I checked my firewall. Aha! httpd wasn't trusted. 
I checked it off as a trusted service and restarted. Still no test page 
content. I recalled some SELinux error messages involving httpd, so I 
disabled SELinux, rebooted the system, and tried to get the test page 
again. Nothing. Here is what is in /var/log/httpd:

Note: the ip address above for 192.168.1.46 is a wired connection. I 
also use a wireless connection a lot, with a different IP address, but 
that shouldn't matter, right? See wlan0:

Any suggestions?
