Hi,

I'm having trouble starting up XAMPP on a Windows 7 machine. On another, it worked perfectly straight away.

After installing, opening up the control panel and starting Apache and MySql, both http://localhost/ and http://127.0.0.1/ don't show anything but just keep loading endlessly in the browser. I've tried ending the Windows http service (http://serverfault.com/questions/91280/xampp-doesnt-respond-on-windows-7-host), but this didn't change anything. I've tried running both Apache and MySql both as a service, and without. They start up normally in the control panel.

From httpd.conf:

ServerRoot "E:/xampp/apache"
ServerName localhost:80
DocumentRoot "E:/Web/"

Of course E:/Web/ is a working path.

What can I check to get this to work?

Could someone please give me some advice on how to resolve this problem?

Do you see this:

10:23:07 [Apache] XAMPP Apache is already running on port 80
10:23:07 [Apache] XAMPP Apache is already running on port 443

There is something wrong with your PC, you already have an Apache installation running or similar. It's impossible for me to find out, what is happening there, but this message is a clear hint that you have messed up your Apache installations.

Hello,

Actually, that message just means the XAMPP modules were already running when the Control Panel was opened (normal if they are services). If they were non-xampp versions of Apache and MySQL, it would display an error stating there is a blocking application on those ports.

As for the endless loading, I see this come up a lot with hostname resolution issues.

A few things you might try/look into:
1. Try binding your MySQL to 127.0.0.1 (uncomment that bind line in /xampp/mysql/bin/my.ini)
2. Try making your mysql connect statements in your code use 127.0.0.1
3. Make sure your HOSTS file is correct
4. Comment out the IPv6 line in your HOSTS file

Are you getting any error messages in your Apache logs?

Thanks for your replies! :-)

I don't think this is MySql related, since the problem still arises when MySql is turned off and only Apache is running. Besides, the default map listing at http://localhost doesn't show either, and my web application will still present an error page when MySql doesn't reply to the script. Still, I tried your solutions:

1) did this, then started MySql, but didn't work
2) not necessary since the script isn't called (checked this by letting the script write a file)
3) looks OK, even when made completely empty except "127.0.0.1 localhost" the http://localhost address doesn't load
4) there isn't any. I'm using Windows 7?

Yes, but I can't figure out what's happening or whether it is conflicting with my process:

Would love to hear any other suggestions which could solve this problem!

Hello,

For that specific error, I would give this a try first:

That worked, thanks for the solution
