unable to localhost/xampp

[gauri_agr]

Hi,

I install fresh xampp using exe file. I started apache. When I type http://localhost/ , it redirect to http://localhost/localstart.asp .

I am unable to see http://localhost/xampp page.

Also I am unable to see index.php and index.html page. I am unable to guess the cause

I have checked the httpd.conf for documentroot and directoryindex , it seems correct.

Thanks & Regards
Gauri

Du you have an IIS running which blocks your port 80?
shows your xampp control panel a green "running" sign?

[gauri_agr]

thanks for the reply , yes my IIS was running on port 80 so I stoped it and then started first apache and then IIS. its working fine


but when I rebooted , again IIS was working on port 80 so how can I force first apache aquire the port 80 during reboot

or any other solution?

Regards
Gauri

- If you don't use IIS, you can disable the start of the IIS-Service

- if you need both webserver you can switch your IIS-port (or your Apache port) to any free port

You're in luck I spotted this earlier. Apache can co-exist with another WWW server...

Go to this URL and make sure you read #4...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/platfo ... .html#inst

I think I am unable to follow the instruction to change the port from 80 to 8080 for apache.

could any one can guide me which file I need to change for making this change?

Thanks & Regards

my bad, I thought I posted this too...

If you had installation problems, note that you might experience errors, such as the “no services installed”
error if Apache is trying to share port 80 with another Web server or application, such as a firewall. To fix
this, open your httpd.conf file in the c:\program files\Apache group\Apache2\conf directory
and locate the following lines:

Code: Select all

    # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
    # ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
    # directive.
    #
    # Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
    # prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
    #
    #Listen 12.34.56.78:80
    Listen 80
    Change the last line of this block to read
    Listen 8080


Then locate the following lines:

Code: Select all

    #
    # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
    # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
    # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
    #
    # If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
    # redirections will not work. See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
    #
    # If your host doesn’t have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
    # You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make
    # redirections work in a sensible way.
    #
    ServerName www.yourdomainnamehere.com:80
    Change the last line of this code to the following:
    ServerName www.yourdomainnamehere.com:8080

thanks helping me

Yes, I tried it on another PC we have here and couldn't get IIS and XAMPP to work (I couldn't get pages from either one).

I changed it back and got XAMPP to show the page (after stopping IIS).

So I'm confused too. I'll see about working on this, during the weekend.

I tried this: Apache & IIS Working on Same PC

Almost all the replies he got worked. My XAMPP Control Panel shows Apache on port 80 (not 8080) after the edits. Weird.

Hi,

I am having the same issues. I changed my httpd file under Apache to 8080 and started the apache service and I just did a port ck and Apache is on 80 not 8080.
I did have IIS on 80, but it's not there. It does show that Tomcat has 8080 being used and it's not started.

The admin buttons doesn't go to anything. The page is blank.

Any ideas

Mike

Please don't cross post.

If you changed the port to 8080 then the Admin button for Apache won't work but http://localhost:8080 should.

BTW did you disable IIS in the Windows Control Panel?

If so there is no need to change the port in the httpd.conf file

Also make sure you have change the ports Skype uses if you have Skype installed.

Your Awesome Izzy

It works.

PS, my last cross post. Ever!

[mariana]

I installed XAMPP and everything was ok, mysql was enabled and others. After we secure, I restarted mysql and when I looked at \ \ \ "status \ \ \" I noticed that mysql is disabled. Yet I went forward with a question mark, I wanted to install wordpress platform, everything was ok until I give \ \ \ 'install \ \ \ "and then informed me that it can not access the database. Why? Where am I wrong or what did?
Multumesc mult!!!!

i try to open the security page but that happens
