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

Appache & MySql are running, but unable to connect

Postby anthropos » 26. June 2011 09:50

Hello everybody!

I just installed the XAMPP on Windows 7. I started it, Apache and MySql are running, but I'm not able to connect to localhost. Skype is not using the 80 port.
Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance:-)

What does the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file have to say about it?

Have you allowed access through your firewall or any other monitor you are using like ZoneAlarm?

More details may help with diagnosing your issues - remember we can't see your screen, you have to tell us what you see.


In the Control Panel Stop all components and remove the ticks in the Svc boxes and then Exit the Control Panel and reboot the PC then run the Control Panel and Start Apache and MySQL, don't tick any boxes, then try and go to http://localhost again.

I'm using AVG Free Edition, stoped it - didn't help.
Switched off the Windows Firewall - didn't help.
Removed the ticks in the Svc boxes - didn't help.

What is the error code you get in your broswer when you type in http://localhost???

If it doesn't return an error, what does happen?

In Google Crome: Oops! Google Chrome could not find localhost.

In Mozilla Fireforx: The connection was reset.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

In IE9: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

OK - that's good actually.

IF the case is that when you open the XAMPP Control Panel, Apache shows as 'running', then the problem is probably the localhost redirector. In Vista and Windows 7, the localhost redirector was moved into the actual code for the MSDNS engine. And it only uses the IPv6 address.

read this
http://bravo.newnetenterprises.com/word ... ot-connect
&
http://serverfault.com/questions/4689/w ... itself-why

add this line to your 'hosts' file if it is not present, and make sure IPv4 is enabled.

127.0.0.1 localhost

Reboot and give it a whirl. If that does not fix it AND Apache shows as running, then the address localhost has been quarantined by a firewall or security policy IMO

Good Luck

Whenever you start xampp services you must have skype closed, and sometimes would be better all browser as well.

Skype will definitelly disrupt the initialization of the connections!

1. There is such line (127.0.0.1 localhost) in my hosts file and IPv4 is enabled.

2. And yes - I closed all browsers and Skype before start the XAMPP - no result...

But thank you, guys, anyway! :)

I run into it once, and to be with you, I deleted the instalation, all diretocries, all windows registry keys (sure I'm talking of a windows instalation), turned of all firewall, including windows and re-installed everything... A little to radical, but worked.... here are to many things to trobbleshoott...

Are you in position to do so?

Problem solved - instead of writing localhost, I just wrote http://127.0.0.1.

But now another problem came out - when I click on "phpMyAdmin" it shows an error: MySQL said:
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured).

Any suggestions?

If you have this IPv6 line in your Windows Hosts file
Code: Select all
::1 localhost

Then comment it out so it looks like this:
Code: Select all
# ::1 localhost
This entry is not supported in XAMPP 1.7.4 AFAIK and if commented out will not affect any other IPv6 issue on your PC as it only applies to localhost.

You may reboot and try again to access http://localhost
If localhost is not available then phpMyAdmin and MySQL may not start either as they are configured to use localhost not 127.0.0.1 - so try both of those after you edit the Hosts file.

Clear your browser's cache first so you are served a fresh page not a cached page.

Yes, my Windows Hosts File says: # ::1 localhost.

Still unable to connect to phpMyAdmin...
