Apache 2.0.47(Win32) Install

Hi All,

Am in need of some help, desperately!!
I have a WinXP Pro machine and have installed
apache_2.0.47-win32-x86-no_ssl.exe.
Install was no probs, put domain name as crap.com and server name as
127.0.0.1 and a bogus email address as the server will never be live.
When I do netstat -ano it tells me the following:

Proto Local Address Forign Address State
PID
TCP 127.0.0.1:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
1076
TCP 127.0.0.1:80 127.0.0.1:1029 ESTABLISHED 1076
TCP 127.0.0.1:1029 127.0.0.1:80 ESTABLISHED 3268

My error log shows me nothing but notices about starts/stops/restarts, but I
still can't view the "Welcome To Apache Page".
I have changed the port to 8080, I did have McAfee firewall which has now
been removed, and Apache monitor is running happily, but no output.

If anyone has any ideas I will be eternally grateful!

Thanks All,
Harvey (harvey_r01@hotmail.com)

I've even changed the documents root folder and put an index.html page which
says "Thank God!!"
....but no luck, I have removed Apache, deleted the folder and re-installed,
same prob, there must be something tying it up.
Its listening on the right port, but whenever I try to access it, it just
trys to load the page for ages and then responds with page can not be
found...

....HELP...

Cheers All,

Harvey

Hi Harvey,

In reply to your first post re: access problems: 1) try setting the
ServerName to the HostName of your computer, or localhost:80 (not the
IP); and see what the app that is running on that port 80 from the PID
and try shutting it down. Don't forget to restart Apache after making
changes. Hopefully your local hosts file will resolve localhost to
127.0.0.1.

When accessing through port 8080, you should use http://localhost:8080
(just so that you are aware of this).

Make sure that you have SP1 installed for XP.

McAfee has been known to cause issues with Apache. You may need to
ensure that it is completely removed from your machine, not just
turned off or disabled.

Second post: try changing the DirectoryIndex directive in the
httpd.conf to include index.html; e.g.,

DirectoryIndex index.html

Also, make sure to start with that your DocumentRoot is pointed to the
htdocs folder inside the Apache2 directory (where ever you have that
located); use the full path name.

Make sure that you are putting the test index.html page in that htdocs
folder.

Third post: Yes you can put Apache on the trusted machine (this is
akin to having a Intranet). In the ServerName and the Listen
directive, use the IP address of the local machine, which should be
assigned by a router (e.g., 192.168.0.3).

Thanks for your updates and for being patient for a reply. It is quite
likely a simple problem that can be resolved after checking a few
things.

Good luck,
TOG

I've just discovered that Apache is using MAX processor usage all the time?
Is it conflicting with something?
I did have ColdFusion MX installed but have removed it...

Thanks Again.

Harvey

Set ServerName to 'localhost' and Listen to 80... Then comment out ALL
virtual hosting thingys at the bottom of the file, set DocumentRoot to
"C:/www/", scroll down some and see a <Directory
C:/whatever/the/first/docroot/was>... Change to <Directory C:/www>...

1 Create the directory C:/www and place some file in it (don't name it
index.*)...
2 start/restart apache...
3 Try http://localhost/ and see what happends...

Where did you install Apache? I have it in C:/Apache... If the directory
contains a space like program files or something, that may screw things...

I run Apache 1.3.28 on XP home without SP1... Apache 2 always seems to give
me problems..

Port 80 is a default so you do not need to include the port number if
Apache is set to listen to that port (although if you do, it doesn't
really matter). It is only when you use another port other than the
default that you need to include it in the address.

As long as you put double quotes around it; this really pertains to
having spaces in the "variable name"; e.g, DirectoryRoot "C:\Program
Files\...\"
This holds true for _any_ path name!

I think that that is a good idea; by default I'm assuming you the
htdocs folder -- this is the normal way that Apache is set up.

>DirectoryIndex does include index.html

Remember that if you have more than one page listed (e.g index.htm
index.html), the one that is at the beginning will be served if you
have two of the pages in the same directory.

Do a bug search at the Apache web site as I seem to recall something
about this with XP. It is likely another program interfering, IIRC.

Make sure you have the router configured properly, as well as any
firewall that you may have enabled.

If nothing else seems to be working, post your httpd.conf file in a
reply (but with all other messages in this thread deleted, please!!!
-- to keep the file size down).

But tell me:

Apache seems to start without errors, correct?

You do not see the "Welcome" page, correct?

You do not want Apache to serve pages on the Internet, but just
locally?

First, make sure that the local machine (192.168.0.162) has the
firewall to allow access to Apache and the specific port only that it
is listening to (e.g., 80).

Second, ensure that the router doesn't allow incoming requests on port
80 (or the whatever port Apache listens), accept those within the
trusted network.

Make the following changes In your httpd.conf (keep in mind that some
things are optional as to what you include, but I'm a purist):

Listen 127.0.0.1:80
Listen 192.168.0.162:80

ServerName localhost:80

DocumentRoot "C:/apache/Apache2/htdocs"
....
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "C:/apache/Apache2/htdocs">


---end changes---

Everything looks fine to start with for the rest of it. Now try the
following:

In the DocumentRoot folder (C:/apache/Apache2/htdocs), make a folder
called "originals" (e.g., C:/apache/Apache2/htdocs/originals).

Take all of the default installation files that are DocumentRoot and
*move* them to the folder called originals (that gets them out of the
way.

Make the changes to the above in the httpd.conf; restart Apache.

Create an html test page, call it index.html and put in the htdocs
folder (the one that is DocumentRoot).

Open browser: http://localhost should bring up the test page.
http://127.0.0.1 should bring up the test page.
http://192.168.0.162 should bring up the test page.
http://your_external_IP should be blocked.

Good luck on this round.

Try other browsers to see if the same CPU is happening.

"If you're not thoroughly confused by now, then you just
don't understand the situation."

interestingly, when i put Listen 192.168.0.114:80 (new IP) apache fails to
start but nothing in error logs.
and when i put it back to 127.0.0.1:80, i get max CPU usage, not when i try
to contact localhost but when it loads and stays at max until its stopped??
Running out of ideas...

Cheers for all your help, anything else u can suggest?

Well, now that's just being entirely too accomodating :-)

??? It surely couldn't in the DOS I used. That's why I paid to use 4DOS,
so I *could* use forward slashes and it would interpret them properly.

Which is what I used all the time at work, which is why I wanted my DOS
command line to let me use forward slashes :-) backward slash meant the
escape character to me.

But in reality, my complaint with backward slashes for path separators in
MS OS's was really only that it's so damn much harder to type than forward
slash - gotta' stretch that little finger way too far :-)
