Yup, I thought that might be it, so I stopped and started Apache in Terminal with a
command I found in the NTLK archives (funny that I was so into trying to figure out all
this unix-y stuff that I completely forgot about the GUI way to do this). When that
didn't work, I rebooted the machine twice. Still no dice. On one of the reboots, the
startup screen paused for a second just before launching Finder and said "waiting for
Apache", which I've never noticed before -- wonder if that could be a clue? But then
Apache seemed to behave normally after that.
I realize this may all be considered somewhat OT (except that the reason I want to do
this is so I can load Newton packages natively in OS X via ethernet), so I wonder if
anyone can point me to a good resource for people like me who want to be able to do some
basic unix-y things like this occasionally (with enough understanding to be able to avoid
nuking my system), but have no prior knowledge? Kind of like taking a First Aid course
as opposed to going through medical school :) I've looked but haven't found anything
aimed at that kind of user.
