Can you load the JavaScript files directly into your browser? (I.e.
copy the "/path/to/javascript.js" part from <script
src="/path/to/javascript.js"> and access it as
"http://yourlocalservername/path/to/javascript.js";, or as-is if the
src attribute of  <script> tag already contains the explicit
hostname).

More importantly, what do your Apache logfiles say?
