Did you check to see if apache was running/started? I am not an expert but here is what I would try... I'm not sure what version of OSX you are running but I have the latest version of Tiger, fyi. Here is what I see when I run the following commands from terminal: ps -aux | grep httpd I get results like: ... www 158 0.0 -0.3 46292 6036 ??

if you dont see any httpd daemons in your process list, then apache might not be running. You can start it by issuing the command /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start Then check to see if localhost works in your browser.
Thanks Matt & William. That did the trick. I think that the machine locked up after the port finished running, but before I got around to readying what was on the screen. So after re-boot I found it installed and active (according to the port command), but that apparently does not mean it is running. Curious difference, that. Anyway, after adding a symbolic link to my directory there is joy in Mudville! Thanks, again, to all who helped me along.
