Yeah, like (Awesome,PekWM,Metacity(the gnome default), etc.). I wouldn't use a full DE(Desktop Environment(includes window manager and panels etc) aside from maybe a *box DE like fluxbox,openbox etc which are all light weight but very easy to figure out and easy to work with. And if you ever wanna kill it, as spy said you can. If your just using it to test out you don't need hella performance out of it(The primary reason servers don't use GUI(Graphical User Interface)), but getting terminal prompt experience will be a plus for sure.

Be more specific. Doing "anything" is a bit too... broad.

I am running the following command as root:
apache2 -k start
and the error i get is:
bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
if i try to run it as normal user, it refuses to acknowledge that apache even exists
The same exists in both GUI command line and command line command line

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 -k start
Might I suggest however, you configure apache.conf so that you don't have to start it from /etc/init.d/.
Btw, a google search of EXACTLY what you posted gives you the answer, please do some research before asking us for help.

| may i ask if you are using vmware or virtual box or something else and make sure the connection is bridged that may or may not cause a problem and if all else fails reset everything to default on the vm or reinstall the vm completely you may have missed something that messed it up the first time around |
