Hi All,
Newbie here so pls bear with me.
Have installed Apache 2.0.55, service runs, test runs, config seems ok (but obviously can't be), ports allocated in Firewall... try as I may web page does'nt open under 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' .. I get 'Under construction' or 'Page not available' in the browser message.
Have checked the forum for similar and not found.
A previous installation of Apache was uninstalled... could this be locking a registry setting somewhere?
Any assistance most welcome.
Many thanks,
John |

'Under construction' I have never seen related Apache
There are no keys in the registry. The hole configuration is saved in a file named httpd.conf With the ApacheMonitor.exe you can see Apache service is runing or not.
realy installed as service or for single user?
You may try http://localhost:8080/ if you get there a responce you installed the Apache for single user.
Did you try to reinstall Apache? |

Hi James,
Thanks for the quick reply - always so good for progress. Will try a reinstallation.
Yes did check that the service is running, also tried http://localhost:8080/
as well as http://127.0.0.1, as well as changing ports in config to 80, 84 etc. with no joy. Downloaded CurrPorts and verify that port 84 (presently in config) is allocated to Apache.
Will keep you posted.
Regards,
John |

stop apache and see what you get.
If you still get a response semthing else is sending it (proxy server for example) or some other server might be bound to port 80
you cna check that via
start->run->cmd
netstat -nao |

Hi James. The re-install did the trick - I reinstalled using the full 'install' package. Maybe the original file was corrupt.
Thanks for your help. Now I'm onto MySQL then to install XRMS CRM - what a mission to get a software trial running.
Go well.
