Unable to access http://localhost/ address

Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

Unable to access http://localhost/ address

Postby sukatoa » 20. October 2008 03:15

I have already installed XAmpp successfully(without conflicts) in my machine yesterday, get stucked on how to figure this out....

The browser will only wait for the response on the local server, ( no response received )

I have already uninstall my anti-virus, disabled the firewall and my apache tomcat server.

I have read about the WWW Server ( IIS ), followed there instructions, but all of them failed to realize me....

I've attempted to modify the httpd.conf and all 80 replaced to 8080(preferrably listen) and in extra/httpd-xampp.conf, in extra/httpd-ssl.conf ( all 443 changed to 4499 ) nothing's changed... ( accessing http://localhost:8080/ still no response ) from other article

i haved checked the ports availability through the given batch file xampp-portcheck, apache.exe listens in port 80.

attempting to locate the URL http://localhost/ , the browser only wait for a response to the server, ( 0 progress ), and base on my observation, the server never respond....

@ modifying its ports, same result, no response, trying to access unknown url like http://localhost:82/ it directly response that unable to connect into the remote server,

my initial conclusion would be, the installation is successful, but the server never response, ( Im not sure of this )

Anybody experiencing this kind of problem?
How can i fix this?

Any reply would be appreciated,

Try use the IP address instead of the localhost address:
http://127.0.0.1:[port number here if you set other than 80 in the httpd.conf file]

If that works then there is an IPv6 setting in the Windows HOSTS file that would need commenting out if you want the localhost address to work.

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS - drag this file into a text editor and add # to the start of the line that has the IPv6 entry:
::1 localhost
to
# ::1 localhost

Save the HOSTS file, with no extension (just as is), and try again to use URI http://localhost

If that fix works then you may want to revert your changes to the conf files back to their original settings from the backup you made before editing (or from memory if no backup created).

Entry at the top of the list of entries in the HOSTS file and above the IPv6 entry should be:
127.0.0.1 localhost

I still can't access using http://127.0.0.1/

I reinstall the XAMPP just now, successfully installed( no conflicts ), i execute them in xampp-control ( unchecked SVC checkbox for apache and mysql ).....

nothing changed, just like yesterday...

Here's the HOSTS file content

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost


Still can't access,
What should i do to this?

Click OK

Now try access localhost again.

Same result, the browser still waiting for an unknown server, ( 0 progress ) "sc delete apache 2.2" @ run

After that event, i have stop the apache and mysql using xampp-control, accessing http://localhost/, then response "Could not connect to remote server" quickly...

What's the next step?

Have you tried to empty your browser's cache in case it is trying to load an old page?

Check these settings in the httpd.conf file:
Listen *:80
ServerName localhost:80


Add this entry down at the bottom of the httpd.conf file:
Win32DisableAcceptEx

Make sure you save the httpd.conf file after editing then restart the Apache server for any changes to be recognised.

This from running my xampp-portcheck.exe - does yours look similar?

RESULT

Service Port Status

Try and paste the error log entry at about the time you try and access the server:
