Apache Friends Support Forum

I am willing to pay anyone that can help me get Xampp working on my system.

I think I have tried everything I've seen suggested and am still not able to access localhost on my computer.

I installed this version: xampp-win32-1.6.7-installer.exe

My system is XP sp3

In httpd.conf I have:
ServerRoot "C:/xampp/apache"
Listen *:80

In my windows hosts file I have:
127.0.0.1 localhost

When I start the Xampp control panel and click Start on Apache, it shows the green text that says "Running" and says it is started on Port 80.

When I run xampp-portcheck.exe it shows Apache running on port 80

When I type either of the following into the browser, IE or Firefox, it continually shows the loading icon, but never loads anything. It does not display an error either, just nothing.

http://localhost
http://127.0.0.1

I do have an index.php file in the directory C:\xampp\htdocs

When I run netstat -ab I see 2 entries for apache.exe

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID
TCP vwdesktop:http vwdesktop:0 LISTENING 7536
TCP vwdesktop:https vwdesktop:0 LISTENING 7536

Should those say 80 instead of 0?

Also I have disabled firewall and it does not make any difference.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Add "Win32DisableAcceptEx" to your "httpd.conf".

ServerRoot != DocumentRoot

Awesome! adding the Win32DisableAcceptEx line to httpd.conf worked.

Okay, now who do I send the check to??

Thanks!
