  <p>However <a href="http://localhost" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost</a> is says <code>Webpage is not available</code>.  </p>
  
  <p>Here are the commands that I'm running (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS):</p>

  <p>It says <code>Restarting about a minute ago...</code> ... does that mean there is something wrong internally?</p>
