When you enter http://localhost in your browser - Where is the browser? Is
it running on your SuSE linux box, or do you have a small network and you're
attempting to connect to Apache from another machine? "localhost" means
"self" thus if you are on another machine and ask for localhost, it won't
see your Apache server.

Secondly - you can check to see if its running via the following

# ps -ef | grep http

If you get three or more lines in the output (perhaps something like
httpd -f /etc/httpd/httpd.conf or something) then its like that it is
running.

An alternative method is to use rpm to check

# rpm --query --all > /tmp/tmpfile
# grep -i apache /tmp/tmpfile

If you get a result there, it means you have a version of apache installed
(but perhaps not configured).

If it is installed, you can start/stop it using

# rcapache start

or

# rcapache stop

and sometimes you can test the status with

# rcapache status

Lastly - if you want to install it I strongly suggest you read the
documentation - Its not that difficult but at the same time don't think
you'll have a web server up and running in minutes if you don't have basic
unix/linux skills like using tar or vi... You should learn how to walk
before crawling...
