Topic: installation errors 2

[mkarmali]

I'm trying to install Apache

When I type httpd.exe

the cursor drops to the next line and nothing happens.

I use contol c to release it.

What should I do?
Thanks.

before hitting control+c type http://localhost in your browser. Apache doesn't say anything when you start it unless there is a problem (like it did in your prior thread)

[mkarmali]

I tried what you suggested and it still doesn't work.

should I have to install Apache as a service after?
ie should I have to say httpd.exe -k install and
httpd.exe -k start ?

[glsmith]

You should install and run as a service yes, but just starting from the command line it should still work. Apache doesn't say anything normally when started from the command line... it just sits there and blinks at you.

I am curious however and should have asked earlier, did you correct the problem in your first post, about the duplicate socket. I assumed you did but if not then that does need to be cleared up.

[mkarmali]

Thank you very much for your interest in my problem.
I cleared the problem in my previous post about duplicate sockets.

Now all it does is sit there. I tried localhost in my browser before hitting control+c. And it still doesn't work.

I entered "httpd.exe" and then after that "httpd.exe -k install" and "httpd.exe -k start". I also double clicked ApacheMonitor.exe.

Despite doing all that it still does not work!

Thank you.

well .. try http://127.0.0.1

If it is just blinking at you, and there are no errors in the error log, then it should be working. Well, you may have to allow the ports through the windows firewall. The windows firewall should ask the first time you start apache, unless it was started as a service first.

[mkarmali]

I have allowed it through the firewall.

The error log has this in it:

Thank you.

[mkarmali]

Thanks I got it to work!

my ServerName was "localhost:80" but I changed it to just "localhost".

Thanks once again!
