I just wanted to pass along a few brief tips for anyone running Apache and utilizing the 'http://localhost' url as a temporary setup (for offline editing, like I'm doing, before ever uploading to a public site; or else actually serving up a page from your own computer). For the last couple of hours I've been wrestling with the 'Template Not Found' error. What I did was move my offline site to a new hard drive and also install Apache on Windows Vista, whereas before that it had been on Windows XP.

Tip one (only for those who don't know already): Remember to Stop your Apache server from running, and then Start it again, before any changes to its config file takes place. If you don't do this, any changes you make (regarding the root Directory of your site) won't be in effect as you edit your site and scratch your head wondering why things are not found. I had Apache running, pointing to one directory, when I had left it running and forgot about it, moved my 'site' to another drive, and then expected it to run.   It's easy to forget it's there, running, too. I had edited everything, in E-Blah's Settings, and then re-edited. I had even edited the config file for Apache, and thought I had it pointing to the new place for my Document Root (the directory for the site people would find if they cruised to my address expecting to find a site). None of the changes took place until I Stopped Apache and then Started it again.

Something so simple, too. I thought I'd pass this along. Immediately, it found the Templates once more and all is well.
