Re: rapport

What OS are you on and did you make sure that Apache was running?

Instruction here:

Re: rapport

Vista,and yup,Apache started.

I’ve followed the instructions everytime.

I remain to be convinced its actually running though 😕

Re: rapport

You got the XAMPP folder in the C Drive and not on the desktop or something as well?

Re: rapport

All in the C drive.

Re: rapport

Okay, in the XAMPP folder, down the bottom, you should see a file called “xampp-control-beta-3”, open that. you should get up something that looks like this…

That will show you if Apache is actually running and, what port it is running on as well.

I need to know that it’s running and that it is running on port 80.

Re: rapport

Possible problem detected:port 80 in use by “system” .

That’ll be it then. :boops:

Any idea how to resolve that one ?

[kwatt]

Re: rapport

That’ll be the problem. 😉

You need to find out what’s using that port and stop it running or tell it to run on a different port.

Or you need to get clever with networking.

Quick Google on Windoze 7 gives me…

Seems to be a recognised problem that on some versions that the Windows IIS service is already active on port 80, Redmond being incredibly helpful as usual. :rolls:

There’s some really good stuff on this thread on that though and, how to solve the problem as Lawrence has just run up against exactly the same thing…

And, here’s a tutorial on IIS…

Seems that “things” grabbing port 80 on Win 7 is a pretty common common problem and most likely one of these two is what’s causing the issue.

Re: rapport

there are 3 solutions.
1) in xampp control-3 beta, click on config and then select apache. edit the opened file and change…

listen 80 change it to listen 8700 (or another port).
ServerName localhost:8700 (same port as above)
click save
restart apache.
Then in your browser localhost:8700

2) the registry change has the risk of stopping other windoz programs that use that system hook so is less preferable.

3) edit the hosts file to create an entry for local instead of localhost to point to apache (again alot easier to use option 1)

Re: rapport

To be fair, Jeremy did mention this with Windows 7 a few days ago but, when we tested it we didn’t encounter the problem. :rolls:

Stoopid Windoze.

Re: rapport

Hello K

I have set it all up on a mac

Installed xampp

Had to reboot to change “root”

Got Apache all secure….

Now when I type “localhost” we go to http://localhost/xampp/

Been at it for a while, need to sleep and then do some more reading.

Re: rapport

Sudeep mentioned something to me about the Mac and the htaccess file, which might require a change, but I can’t recall.

I’ll try to find out what it was.
