Apache on win XP seems not start working

[olegkot]

Hi!

I've installed Apache2 on my win XP and configured httpd.conf file (1. DocumentRoot &quot;C:/website&quot;; 2. <Directory &quot;C:/website&quot;> ). But nothing has happened.
It seems like server is not starting to work by pressing &quot;Start button -> Program Files -> Apache -> Management -> Start Apache&quot; - I check it in Processes Manager...

What can be a problem? Throw me a hint.. please.

P.S. Another question: At the first dialog window of installation process I had to fill three fields concerning website. I filled it with url address of my PC (but it's a timely address). Can you also clarify this dialog window?


Thx in advance.

With best wishes, oleg.

'I filled it with url address of my PC (but it's a timely address).'

Not sure what you mean - a dynamic address? That could cause your web site to be down, but Apache will still start given any IP address.

I think you need to post your httpd.conf file for us to help. Also, did you set Apache to start as a service? That's how mine runs on both XP and 2000. Newposter

How do I set Apache to begin as a service?
About address - yes it's a dynamic one. How can I set the address if it's changed?

oleg.

 

[Newposter]

I think during installation it asks if you want Apache to run as a service (which I think is the default under Windows), so you may be OK there.

As for the IP address, if you don't have a static IP, and you aren't using a service like dns2go.com to forward requests, your web sites will be down every time your ISP changes your address. With broadband, this may not happen often; with dialup, you usually get a different address every time you connect.

Also, have you configured your domain name via its registry to point to your IP address? Newposter

Also, make sure that you don't have xp's built-in firewall running. This would make it appear that your web site is unavailable.

 

[olegkot]

Listen guys!

1. I don't have domain name - I need apache for development perposes.

2. In the right-bottom coner of the main window there is Apache's feather. When I open it - no services installed is shown. May be I need to install some additional services?

Hi! I'm still here...

[smah]

First, at a command prompt type netstat -a and reply with the results.

Second, where is this IP address (62.90.199.61) coming from? Again at a command prompt, type ipconfig /all and post the results.

 

[Newposter]

Exactly. If he has a dynamic IP address, and this is not the one that he currently has, Apache will not work.

With dialup service, it will usually change every session. With broadband, it usually retains it until the ISP's servers get rebooted (but not guaranteed, it may change more frequently). Newposter

I just installed the Apache 1.3.27 for the purpose of learning asp on my xp home machine. During installation it asked for a server name I didn't know what to enter so i used my imagination and put

http://www.myserver.com.

That was wrong. When I looked in httpd.conf I found this:
===========================================================
# Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you
# define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand
# this, ask your network administrator.
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address (e.g.,

http://123.45.67.89/)

# anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.
#
# 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your
# machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for
# local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name.
#
===========================================================
Since I don't have a network administrator for my home computer I turned to this site and got a lot of good tips.
I changed ServerName to 127.0.0.1
For now I am putting my html and asp in a subdirectory that I created off this directory:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs
And it works
Good Luck

 

[scottyandpear]

you should sign up with a dns client i use dyndns.org then uninstall apache... then redo the installation with your dns address... and add your email ... as the admin's email... then reply back to us...

 

[olegkot]

I've done it:

Now my address is olegkot.dyndns.org.
