Hi,

I'm trying to configure apache 2.2.11 on my xp sp3 home computer.
During install I chose "localhost" for my network domain and server
name. When I go to my browser and type in localhost in the address
bar, I get an error message. I have tried many different listen
commands, as follows:
listen 80
listen 127.0.0.1:80
listen 8080
listen *:80

I have also read the available documents,help files,etc. and I can't
seem to get it to work properly. Please help,

uv

Browser to localhost only work when browser and apache resides
on the same machine.

listen 80 is a shorthand for listen *:80
overlapping listen 127.0.0.1:80
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...on.html#listen

In general 'listen 80' will do.
On windows it may conflict with IIS

Start the apache binary at a CMD prompt with -X option.
It will write its startup problem where you can read them: on screen.

Perhaps the error message says something about the problem...

What port do you want to use?

Thanks for the help. When i try and run apache, I get the following
errors:
1. No listening sockets available
2. Unable to open logs

What port do you want to use? I don't understand ports, that is why I
am posting questions here. How do I determine which port to use?

Thanks again,

uv

Ports are just extentions on an IP adresses:
the computer has an IP adress, a program can use a port at that adddres:
a web server commonly operaties at port 80, a ftp server at port 21 and 20,
mail forwarders -aka SMTP services- use 25, etc.

> How do I determine which port to use?
On windows at the CMD prompt run 'netstat -nba'
find the line holding :80 in the second column
next line is telling the name of the program using it

Right click at This_computer and follow Manage => Services => Services
try to locate the program name found with netstat at the common tab of a
services properties sheet as the program .
Stop this service and change its startup mode to disabled.

> 2. Unable to open logs
Apache will report the path it cannot follow, create the folder tree and try
again or change the configuration.

Where did you download your Apache-for-Windows??

Thanks! I tried running netstat-nba and it shows some network(?) data
and then automatically closes before I can read any of it. What should
I do? I don't remember where I downloaded apache from. Thanks again,

Open an ugly black window first then type 'netstat -nba'
or retry with 'cmd /k "netstat -nba"'

Uninstall and restart at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
