Re: Apache Server not Responding.

I'm having a similar but even worse problem. Apache won't respond at
all. Things broke when I installed McAfee firewall. So I uninstalled
that. No deal. Finally reinstalled Windows (XP), reinstalled Apache.
Still won't respond. Localhost (127.0.0.1) pings OK. Error log shows
no problems, activity log shows nothing happening. It's like nothing
ever happens on the port.

HELP!!!!!!!

Make sure that the default firewall with XP is disabled and try again
(or set up the firewall -- ICF, I think it's called) to allow port 80
(if that is the port set to Apache -- usually is by default). Try
restarting Apache after that and see if allows access.

Also, in a DOS prompt, type "netstat -ano" and see if port 80 is being
listened to, and check the pid, then check in Admin Tools --> Services
(in the Control Panel) to see if Apache is the process running on that
port.

Thanks. ICF is disabled. Port 80 does not show up under netstat. I
figure McAfee firewall killed it good. Any idea how to turn it back
on?

Make sure that you have Service Pack 1 installed for XP. This is a
requirement. After that update (if you haven't got it), try restarting
Apache. There must be something in the error log to say whether Apache
started up or not.

Found out what it was: McAfree VirusScan 7. Apparently its
auto-protect hooks the ports and doesn't do it quite right. I
suspected the firewall; never once suspected VirusScan. Pulled
it out, and it's working find again. There's a long thread about this
very problem on McAfee's forum. Had to go back to Norton.

Thanks for the help.
