Webpage Error: Website Declined to Show Page

I had a client install the files needed for an internal web mapping application using Apache, MapServer and GeoMoose.  They installed the files onto a Windows Server 2003 machine.  When they tried to access the internal website by using the following address: http://server_name/app_name/index.html they received the following error message "Website Declined to Show Page".

The server is also running IIS and Exchange.

What can I do to grant them access to the internal website?

Unfortunately I don't have any access to this server. I will be going through a third party IT service, so it may take awhile to get answers to you questions.

The client is able to get to the default Apache web page by going to http://servername.

Are they trying to access the website locally on the server or remotely from a different machine?

Its possible inbound to port 80 is blocked...

They have tried both.  If port 80 is blocked why would I be able to access http://localhost.

Well http://localhost.only works on the local machine...Inbound to port 80 may be blocked by the ISP for remote.

http://server_name will bring a default webpage on both the client and server.  The ISP won't be involved because they will only be accessing the website internally on their LAN.

Can you attach the output of a    netstat -n   command

Also can you attach Apache error.log if there is one and httpd.conf   files?

Below is the result of netstat -n, followed by the error log.

Thanks Hollecar.

That was it, somehow that file got copied to the wrong directory.
