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

Cannot find server or DNS

Postby trevor4370 » 31. December 2004 05:16

I am running Windows XP (sp2) with ZonlAlarm Firewall. I have been using XAMPP for a long time now and all of a sudden I had to keep rebooting it as it would not find the localhost page, or any pages for that matter. I upgraded to xampp-win32-1.4.11.

Now the server can not be found, I have it in root (c:\xampp). Everything seems to be OK.

Ports seems OK

Hi,

the ZoneAlarm Firewall is not good with XAMPP, please download KERIO Firwall, because you get problems with ZoneAlarm and XAMPP.

you open you localhost site with http://localhost, but when you have ZoneAlarm running, you can't open the site, because the firewall blocked this site....that was by me...

sorry, but my english is terrible :D

Problem Fixed

Postby trevor4370 » 01. January 2005 07:30

I have finally fixed the problem (after many hours of frustrating work and research …. Even sneaking out to the office on New Years night ….. you know what it is like). I had an idea it was a firewall problem, but I have never had a problem with ZoneAlarm before. I disabled it and still nothing. I then did a bit more checking around the Forum and read somewhere about Panda Antivirus .... I had tried a trial version a few weeks before (silly thing to do). I did uninstall it but it did not uninstall everything, I found a file called PavLsp.dll it left behind in Program Files and I could not uninstall it. I come across a little program called lspfix http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm, downloaded, installed and ran it .... I then uninstalled Xampp and reinstalled it again ..... Everything runs fine now.

Apparently Panda has a firewall built in, nasty little thing it is ... I also had to delete a few registry entries manually, not sure if this helped, but I can now run xampp .... so I am happy again, and so is my wife :-)

I thought XPSP2 firewall need to be configured to allow port 80 access, its under the firewall settings in the control pannel.

I would say kero (or what was suggested) is good, after testing it I found that it failed my tests (i do internet security) You could try personal firewall by sygate. it has rules that you can set up, so its quite good.

You may wnat to change the server conf, to run on your exsteral IP that the local host, although it will still work.
