I was going to say to restart the web server, that is, apache. On a 
Debian system it would go like this:

I think you have apache2 don't you?

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
/etc/init.d/apache2 start

Note any messages.

Do you have any 'Listen' directives in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and any 
of the sites in /etc/apache2/site-enabled?
