HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

I just installed Apache on an XP machine and when I try to access
http://localhost/ from IE I get "The page cannot be displayed" and the
caption reads "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error"

I've chedked error.log and there's no mention of an error.

Whazzup with that?

It doesn't work.

How do you think we can help if you don't tell something more ?
Like: what did you modify in httpd.conf ? Did you edit it at all ?
Exactly which Apache version did you install ?
Did you test the server with your httpd.conf ? Result ?

In other words, details please...
