Why can't I connect to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1

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

Why can't I connect to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1

Postby collesco » 12. January 2009 17:18

Hi
On the control panel it says:
SVC ticked Apache Start
SVC unticked Mysql Running Start Admin

When I click start Apache, it says Apache started, running appears and then after 3 seconds disappears again. When trying to connect to http://localhost it just says Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Webpage.

What do I do now???

Start Apache with the batch file:

Code: Select all
C:\xampp\apache_start.bat


to get an error message.

You have some strange Firewall running? Disable it!

Tried that, turned everything off and restarted the apache, and still get same message: wsasocket failed to open the interited socket. I have another option: to use joomla with a remote site I have, just not sure how to set this up, any ideas? :?

It is possible that you must uninstall the firewall.

For the remote site: Do you have SSH Access (if Linux Server) or RDP Access (if Windows Server)? Then i can post you an tutorial how to set up Joomla.

Try a software like "WinSock XP Fix" to correct your settings.

You could also try adding this to the bottom of your C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file:
Win32DisableAcceptEx
Save the file then try and restart Apache.
