By default, port 80 shouldn't be blocked, so I see two possibilities. 
Either you wrote the rule wrong and _now_ you're blocking it, or apache
isn't really running.

First, decide which apache you want.  I see no good reason to
install "apache" for a fresh install, so install "apache2".

Then use ps to make sure it's running.
