[Lug-Nuts] can't connect to web server

I just compiled apache 1.3.9 from source on a development machine.
I can't connect to the web server.

I started it with /usr/local/apache/bin/apachetl start
and it looks as if it started. I checked it with ps ax | grep httpd
and it looks as if five processes are waiting. Yet when I try to
view the web page with lynx http://localhost I get

lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/

I tried telnetting to port 80 and issuing this command

GET / HTTP/1.0<CR><CR>

but it is refusing my connection.

Do I have to open port 80 for connections?
