Topic: Apache 2 Windows XP index.html does not load

[groentebroer]

Hi,

After installing apache 2.2.3 with the installation MSI on windows XP Professional, I am not able to see the index.html page.
The page just keeps loading.
The Apache process starts correctly and nothing weird in the log.

netstat -an tells me apache is listening on port 80

When I telnet to localhost on port 80 and I do a request for /index.html it will also never answer.

Nothing wrong in the Windows event log. Setting the port to 8080 and then connecting to that port creates the same problem. I do not have any firewall software running and the Windows firewall is turned off.

Can anybody tell me what could be wrong?
I tried Apache 2.2.3 and 2.2.2 now, but the problem stays the same.

Thanks!

When Apache is running with no errors in the error.log, looks a network issue. What do you have in the Listen directive ?

Try:

Listen 80

I tried:

0.0.0.0:80
I tried my DHCP IP :80
I Tried Listen 80

At last I found that:

Win32DisableAcceptEx

In the httpd.conf solved the problem.

After that, when I created a Virtual Host, the same problem occurs: The page stays loading..., but nothing displayed.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_winnt.html#win32disableacceptex

So Apache works now, but not when I use virtual hosts. The option: Win32DisableAcceptEx is not available "per site" i belief.

As someone else has seen this behaviour, please let me know.

Cheers,

Nope.

Are you running a software firewall and/or, virsus/mail scanner or zone alarm etc. If yes uninstall it (disabling is mostly not enough).

I will uninstall it later, to see if that is the problem.
