First and foremost: there is no firewall between me and the server. It's internal for right now.
JBI, "ps -A | grep httpd" didn't return anything. Running "top" showed apache2 in the process list. I know it was running because I was able to type in 192.168.1.4 in the address bar of Firefox and it popped up a page that showed "Index of /". That's changed now, however, because I changed one file and Firefox now waits for something from the server.
notfred, there are three files in my /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ directory: 00_default_ssl_vhost.conf, 00_default_vhost.conf, and default_vhost.include.
I just changed the content of 00_default_vhost.include today. Now, Firefox connects to the server, but waits indefinitely for content to be returned. I have a file for Apache to read. Index.html was created by user media, and is readable by all.

# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
<IfDefine DEFAULT_VHOST>
# see bug #178966 why this is in here
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
NameVirtualHost *:80
# When virtual hosts are enabled, the main host defined in the default
# httpd.conf configuration will go away. We redefine it here so that it is
# still available.
#
# If you disable this vhost by removing -D DEFAULT_VHOST from
# /etc/conf.d/apache2, the first defined virtual host elsewhere will be
# the default.

# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
# If you change this to something that isn't under /var/www then suexec
# will no longer work.

# Redirect: Allows you to tell clients about documents that used to
# exist in your server's namespace, but do not anymore. The client
# will make a new request for the document at its new location.
# Example:
# Redirect permanent /foo http://www.example.com/bar
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
# access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
# Example:
# Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
#
# If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL. You will also likely
# need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
# the filesystem path.
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
# client. The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias
# directives as to Alias.
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/media/www/cgi-bin/"

# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
