Well i had to uninstall cuz i had to reformat my comp. And now i reinstalled and it doesnt work. My ISP, Cox, blocks Port 80 so i changed it to 2000. But, people still cant access my site. Should i call cox and ask them about it even though it was working? Ill post my httpd page.

Are running Windows XP SP2? The built-in firewall might be blocking the port. Also, it could be a router. Another application might also be using that port. :roll:

how do i disable that firewall?

With XP SP2 .. There should be a security centre icon in system tray or in the control panel. Use that to see if you have the firewall on. If it is on go to network connections and right click on the connection you use. select properties and in advanced tab click on settingsbutton. this will open the firewall setings page. choose the exceptions tab and select add program. Add apache to the list of execeptions. Windows will allow these programs unmonitored. Then clickon add ports (bottom button in the exceptions panel) and in the window that pops up type in the port number and select TCP.

If you still feel unsure about the windows firewall then just disable it in the first tab. I use Kerio pfw and its very good. I feel its better than Zone Alarm pro :)
check the router and see if you have port 80 port forwarded. Use port8080 instead. Yes as you said I have heard of people saying that COX blocks port 80. try 8080.
Use this link to test your open ports :

Your .conf seems OK to me.
