Help! Only seeing Apache Test Page

can't view eBay or Paypal...

[mickapoo]

For some reason, ever since I installed Apache, when I try to go to eBay.com, or Paypal.com, I am seeing a page titled "Test Page for Apache Installation". The body of the page reads,
"If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page.

Seeing this instead of the website you expected?
This page is here because the site administrator has changed the configuration of this web server. Please contact the person responsible for maintaining this server with questions. The Apache Software Foundation, which wrote the web server software this site administrator is using, has nothing to do with maintaining this site and cannot help resolve configuration issues."

Any ideas? I haven't noticed it when I visit other websites, only eBay.com and Paypal.com.

Sounds like it may be your host file (win Xp c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ). Do you have a line in it like this:

127.0.0.1 ebay.com
127.0.0.1 paypal.com

Thanks so much for the fast response.

I don't have a line in it like you asked, but if it helps, this is what it contains:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
