Author Topic: Anyone good with Apache? (Read 3880 times)

I need some trouble shooting help with Apache and i was wondering if anyone could lend me some time to figure out what exactly is wrong.

I had IIS running, but somehow my teacher messed it up so i disabled it and decided to run apache as a local host.

My problem is that when i type: localhost into my browser address it wont resolve. I checked my services and nothing is running that should affect it.

if you try http://127.0.0.1 what happens?

You might have a simple dns resolution issue.

eMo · « **Reply #2 on:** March 31, 2009, 01:10:45 PM »

same thing as localhost. just sits there trying to resolve.

Also i didn't mention im using XAMPP. I'm going to try and restart again to see if my services are the problem

KnacK · « **Reply #3 on:** March 31, 2009, 01:14:03 PM »

You can ping localhost and 127.0.0.1 correct? ( making sure your tcpip stack isn't fubared)

eMo · « **Reply #4 on:** March 31, 2009, 01:27:54 PM »

I can ping it fine. As soon as type it into my address bar it just sits and tries to load.
I really don't know what it is. IIS is completely removed, I've uninstalled apache completely and re-installed.
Don't know what im missing. ..

Take a read at these 2 docs:

So i took apache off of port 80 and put it on 8080.
Now when i try and go to locolhost i get "failed to connect" which was expected.
when i try localhost:8080 it still does the same thing. could it be my apache install or my config file?

KnacK · « **Reply #7 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:24:36 PM »

is the apache service even running? You should be getting the apache page under construction page.

eMo · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:30:42 PM »

yep the service is running. I know the screen i should be getting cause i'v had tomcat running on this once.
I really have no idea what the problem is and my poor little teacher is confused enough as it is without the class's problems =\

I'll give it another shot tonite when i get home.
thanks for your quick replies knack.

You're using XAMPP, you aren't trying to install Apache separately are you?

no. When I got home today I uninstalled xampp and tried to install apache 2.2 on its own but still had the same result.
I really don't know where to go from here.. prob into the config..

lekky · « **Reply #12 on:** April 01, 2009, 03:11:26 AM »

eMo · « **Reply #13 on:** April 01, 2009, 11:01:13 AM »

after that im just going to give up.

Can you guys think of any other ways to run .php files?

edit: would microsoft visual studio work? i code asp in it

If you just need to run a PHP script, then download the PHP interpreter and call it by the command line.

Have you checked the Apache logs?

Try opening telnet to 127.0.0.1:80(80) and type in:

Code: [Select]

GET / HTTP/1.0

Type two new lines afterward.

I couldn't open the connection to: 127.0.0.1:80(80).

Have you tried using Apache without setting up PHP?

...i cant even get apache up

(including apache stand alone)

eMo · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2009, 10:17:39 AM »

So, I'm unable to run mysql now. It worked perfect before....
I have no idea whats going on. I'm guessing my services are all intercoursed up =\.

Would more than service of the same type effect anything. ( I'v got 3 different mysql services for some reason)

KnacK · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2009, 11:07:14 AM »

1. go into services and stop all mysql and apache services
2. You need to uninstall EVERYTHING
3. reinstall JUST apache and playwith that until you get it.
