Cannot connect localhost [SOLVED]

[hooiyijun]

Hi,

I have installed xampp in windows seven. And the apache with mysql is started. This means the port 80 with 3306 is being used by apache with mysql. But Why do i cannot load 127.0.0.1 or localhost via browser? When i stop apache, the browser will stop to load the link 127.0.0.1 or localhost. However, i have closed firewall, the problem still same. May i know what is the possible problem? I will grateful you if anyone mind spend time to provide the suggestion. I am really like to use the software xampp. This is benefit to many programmers which are able to write php script in local computer.

Regards,
Jun

XAMPP 1.7.7 also requires that port 443 be free, as HTTPS is also enabled.

Check to see if that is your problem

Thanks for the information. But i never use https. The version is not the 1.7.7.

Wish you the whole good Day.

The version is not the 1.7.7.

then "why does it say XAMPP version 1.7.7 in your profile"?

XAMPP Version: 1.7.7
Operating System: -

What version ARE you talking about?

The version is 1.7.4. I don't know why i cannot load 127.0.0.1 via browser. It look like windows seven cannot support 1.7.4?

1 - Make sure that IPv4 is enabled

2 - Using a CMD (Command) Window, try pinging 127.0.0.1 and localhost

3 - See if the Apache error log shows any issues.

Good luck

Hi,

I ensure ipv4 is enabled. And the 127.0.0.1 pinging is successfully.

On another, i have checked error log.
The error log show the following a lot of message:
An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Child 1548: Encountered too many errors accepting client connections. Possible causes: dynamic address renewal, or incompatible VPN or firewall software. Try using the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive.

What's the mean of the above problem? Kindly advise. Thanks for very much.

Its an Apache vs. Windows Error -- and the error log is telling you to how to possibly fix it.

An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Child 1548: Encountered too many errors accepting client connections. Possible causes: dynamic address renewal, or incompatible VPN or firewall software. Try using the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/mod ... leacceptex

Stop XAMPP if it is running -

Edit \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-mpm.conf

Look toward teh end for:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
    ThreadsPerChild      150
    MaxRequestsPerChild    0
    #Win32DisableAcceptEx
</IfModule>

Remove the # from:
#Win32DisableAcceptEx

should now look like:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
    ThreadsPerChild      150
    MaxRequestsPerChild    0
    Win32DisableAcceptEx
</IfModule>

Save the file. This will enable Win32DisableAcceptEx

Restart XAMPP and see what happens.

If it does not fix your problem - try disabling firewall software etc as suggested in the Apache documentation

HI,

I enabled Win32DisableAcceptEx. But the problem still same. On another, error log also show the following message, so i cannot estimate what is the problem:
