Leave the Services unchecked for now.
Open \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-mpm.conf in your text editor and down near the end of the file in the WinNT MPM section uncomment this line (remove the # character) so it looks like this
- Code: Select all
Win32DisableAcceptEx
Then restart Apache and try localhost again.
I take it there are no clues showing up in any of the log files mentioned?
Try pasting the tail of both logs here after starting Apache and the XCPv3 please.
You are logged into Vista as an admin have temporarily disabled UAC?
Do you have this same issue if you just type
http://127.0.0.1 or
http://localhost missing out any other folder names?
Using the Windows Task Manager can you see a spike in CPU usage in the Processes Tab when trying to access localhost?
Something else to try:
Open C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file in your text editor and comment out this line so it looks like this
- Code: Select all
127.0.0.1 localhost
#::1 localhost
The first 2 lines after all the comment tags should look like the above now, you can also delete that IPv6 line completely if you wish - save the file and often a reboot after this edit helps.
There is no definitive solution for this but trial and error using previous solutions from members who have has similar issues.
Mostly it is related to your system not to XAMPP as millions of XAMPP users do not experience this behaviour.
