 Posted: Wed 31 Mar '10 4:50 Post subject: Attempting to set up apache for home use/localhost |
 |
|
Hello everyone. I have downloaded and installed : httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi and when I point my browser at http://localhost it does nothing (in FF) or says that I am not connected to the internet (IE).
I have attempted turned off my firewall, pinged 127.0.0.1:80, my IP and shared IP address all coming back normal.
My error log reads:
| Quote: | Starting the Apache2.2 service
The Apache2.2 service is running.
] Apache/2.2.15 (Win32) configured -- resuming normal operations

Quite frankly I'm stumped. Please help.  |

sounds like localhost is not defined in the windows hosts file
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
should have in there
127.0.0.1 localhost
did you try
http://127.0.0.1 |

The file has "127.0.0.1 localhost" I have also tried http://127.0.0.1 but it produces the same results as http://localhost.
I have also now tried changing ports http://localhost:8080 produces the same results...
This was done as follows:
| Quote: | C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf:
* Scroll down and find “Listen 80″, change to “Listen 8080″
* Also find “ServerName localhost:80″, change to “ServerName localhost:8080"
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
* Scroll down and find “Listen 443″, change to “Listen 4499″
* Also find “<VirtualHost _default_:443>”, change to “<VirtualHost _default_:4499>”
* and just below that find “ServerName localhost:443″, change this to “ServerName localhost:4499″ |
(I found this off of another forum.) |

Looking back at the original, something connected and requested favicon.ico, like a browser would.
[Tue Mar 30 20:31:46 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/favicon.ico
So it worked at 51 seconds after you started Apache.
That it then was blocked, sounds like firewall.
Anything in the Windows Event Log?
Have specifically allowed the port through Windows firewall? |

| I have tried turning off my firewall to see if that was the issue. Could it still be blocking it in some capacity even with it turned off? |
