Apache Friends Support Forum

I was creating my Magento store on Xampp last night (i'd had it running well for about a month) and I logged on this morning to find it had stopped working.

When I loaded the page up, this is the error message I found:

Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE"
Internet Information Services 7.5
Error Summary
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Detailed Error Information
Module IIS Web Core
Notification MapRequestHandler
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x80070002
Requested URL http://XXX.X.X.X:80/magento/index.php
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\magento\index.php
Logon Method Anonymous

Most likely causes:
The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
The URL contains a typographical error.
A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.
Things you can try:
Create the content on the Web server.
Review the browser URL.
Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code and see which module is calling SetStatus. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
Links and More Information
This error means that the file or directory does not exist on the server. Create the file or directory and try the request again.

(I xxed out the number cause i'm not sure if it's a 'private' number )

I'm running windows 7- how can I fix this? It was working fine last night, and it's suddenly stopped

Hi Imstuck,

This is an IIS issue. I don't see any relation to XAMPP.
We can't give any support for third party products like Microsoft IIS or Magento, sorry.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Since this problem, I can't actually turn the Apache server on. I click the start button, and the box below says 'Apache Server started' but the button doesn't change to stop, and the green 'running' box doesn't show.
Can you help me with this?

Thanks.

A process called NT Kernel & Sytem is listening to both 445 (or was it 443?) and 80 ports. If that's any help :p

I changed the apache port to 8888. This now displays me store when I type 127.0.0.1:8888/magento/index.php but it only shows it as a plain html website. I was thinking maybe the styles and images for the magento store are stored under the port 80 or something, which is why the store isn't displaying correctly. Do you think this would be correct?

This is your IIS HTTP and SSL proxy service.

Many common content management systems build their own urls (for links, css files, js, images, etc) based on a base url path. So it is very common, that this is a Magento configuration issue.

I've stopped my IIS though, so that shouldn't affect it?

Sorted! Turns out I didn't fully turn IIS off
