apache2 localhost refused to connect
Mia Lopez 
I'm installing apache2.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 with a custom cookbook in Chef. I cannot connect to localhost after a fresh converge, and I'm not having Chef modify any configuration files until I figure out why I cannot connect. I expect to see the default index.html landing page, but nothing works. I can ssh into my vagrant machine, but my browser will not load anything from the server. By the end of this I would like to have my own HTML file that I had Chef build in /var/www/html/ act as the landing page for my Apache server.
Below are a few methods I have already attempted:
I have ran wget localhost and 127.0.0.1 always outputs:

Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1

Lastly, I have checked permissions on /var/www and /var/www/html, and they're all 0755
All the above have lacked any form of success. Please help. Before you ask, yes I did restart the apache process after every modification to the server.
