Apache Web Server Problems

I seem to be having some trouble with Apache. I have followed many of the steps in as much as launching the terminal window and proceeding to work with the conf file. Everything seems to go properly, until I perform the test of trying to visit http://127.0.0.1/ . Safari tells me it can't connect to the server. I'm out of ideas. Now, I have activated Apache in January of this year in order to get FileMaker Server to work completely. In the past, everything worked. I upgraded to Mountain Lion, however, and am just now getting back around to using FileMaker Server again, and I discovered that Apache is no longer working properly. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Joshua
