I think I know why -

Try this:

http://localhost:88/index.html

let me know what happens

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:88

firewall is off using eset smart security v3

So much for theory #1

I have checked two running XAMPP servers, neither show these lines twice:
[notice] Child 5344: Starting thread to listen on port 443.
[notice] Child 5344: Starting thread to listen on port 88.

Is that just a cut and paste error?

FWIW - I would suggest you temporarily disable eset, enable the Windows firewall and make the exception for Apache when prompted. In my experience failed to connect generally means blocked or "its off at the other end'.

Last question for now - do you have any vhosts in your configuration?

If you didn't set up vhosts, there aren't any by default - so not an issue.

I do have a question - why did you want/need to run XAMPP on port 88?

no specific reason just thought maybe the xampp isnt running cause port 80 has been used

OK -

Best course of action -

I'm going to presume you haven't built anything as its not working. (if you have BACK IT UP)

If you have Apache and MySQL running as services - uncheck the Svc box for each and OK the next dialog box (it has to be done one at a time)

Restart you machine
Start the XAMPP Control Panel - Apache and MySql should not show as running now
1st - run the Port Check - see if port 80 is free.

IF port 80 shows as free -
-- Uninstall your XAMMP
-- Follow these instructions
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#524

then - reinstall XAMPP CLEAN - to the default folder - and give it a go

ELSE

IF Port 80 was used by another application when you did the port check - tell us what it was.


Good luck
:)

asher -

The path thing only matters to locating executables from the command line, or with a system call.

I have looked at several of my XAMPP installs and none of them have 'two start messages' in the Apache log.

this is what a clean session on a 'clane new' XAMMP install looks like

So there is something funky going on (that's why I previously asked about the two sets of start actions...)

Question - you installed XAMPP and made NO modifications or additions, right?
Is there a reason for choosing XAMPP 1.7.2 instead of current version?
you installed into c:\xampp?
you installed as an adminstrator, right?
LOL - just covering all the bases -

WHOOPS - glad I did that,
you may also need to remove the IPv6 loopback
::1 localhost

or disable IPv6

That's why we have two start messages! listening on two interface addresses (jemandem die Daumen drücken) :shock:

-> yup dont made any modif or addt

-> want to use drupal 6, and had been installed current version but still the same

you installed into c:\xampp?
->yup

you installed as an adminstrator, right?
->yup

you may also need to remove the IPv6 loopback
::1 localhost
where can i find this, in etc hosts dun have it

or disable IPv6

the hosts file DOES have an entry that says?

127.0.0.1 localhost

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html

If you want Apache to handle IPv4 connections only, regardless of what your platform and APR will support, specify an IPv4 address on all Listen directives, as in the following examples:

Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen 192.170.2.1:80

try making your listen statement:

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

BTW - You are still getting two start messages because you used the adapter level fix for IPv6 - don't worry about it.

While you are on the machine Open a Command window (DOS prompt) and type Ping 127.0.0.1 (return) and see what the results are
Then try pinging localhost...

8)


Good Luck

had changed httpd.conf

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

pinging both localhost and 127.0.0.1 are reply, but still cant connect

At this point it is my belief its now down to some kind of firewall problem. Could be from Eset, could be from the Windows firewall - there's no way to tell - other than to unplug from your router (a small precaution) and turn off/uninstall Eset, disable the Windows firewall and test.

If you got ping responses from both queries, the 'network side' IS working, so somrthing must be blocking the application (Apache) from communicating with the browser(s)

Speaking along those lines you could try (I suppose) a different browser (on the theory that an unusal browser setting is in place, like use a proxy sever). That last item could cause a websever form running on Port 80 on 127.0.0.1 as that is the address a self-hosting proxy would use.

I'd suggest Google Chrome or Firefox if you aren't running them - DO NOT IMPORT SETTINGS.

Good Luck
