New install Problem

Having a bit of trouble getting this working.

Running Windows 2000 Server
Machine is a Pentium 4

I followed the instructions here:

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?WindowsOSInstallGuide

After running the installer my browser comes up (Mozilla 1.7) and says

The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:8284

I brought up ActivePorts nothing is listening on 8284

Read the readme file that comes with the install, read the install doc,
checked the list archive, checked google, but I’m not seeing anything
relevant. Can someone help point me in the right direction?

You don’t note whether there’s anything that looks like apache
listening on any other common ports; is apache starting at all?

  If you can read this... thank a system administrator.  Or two.  --me

(sorry for the top-posting, annoying company policy)

Ok, your comment led me back to the setup instructions, which mention
apache can be managed here:

c:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common\httpd\bin\ApacheMonitor.exe

But it turns out there is no such directory as

c:\Program Files\OurInternet\Common

only

c:\Program Files\OurInternet\Request Tracker

Which would explain why it’s not working, though why that should be I
don’t understand. The installer was very easy to use, and I don’t see
how I could have messed it up, there aren’t that many choices.
