     Point your browser to just "localhost" (no quotes).  If you see  
"Test Page for Apache Installation" then Apache's running; if not,  
you'll get an error page.  If you have an adminstrator password, you  
can start and stop Apache from Terminal by typing "sudo apachectl  
start" or stop respectively.  You can also use "Personal Web Sharing"  
on the Sharing pane to turn it on and off, but that opens up your  
firewall.

     I'm running Tiger, and occasionally have the same problem as  
well.  If Apache is running, I get a 404 not found trying to go to  
localhost:2500/wiki/show/HomePage, and the default Apache page if I  
just go to localhost:2500.  What I do to get around it is to go to  
the Instiki homepage first and click on the "localhost:2500" link  
from there, and it automagically gets me to my wiki.  After that, I  
can get to it from my bookmark until the next time I restart the  
machine.
