Service & localhost failure.

[hiphopbiter]

For some reason my comp would not install the .msi for apache 2.0.55 so I opted for apache 1.3.31 which installs fine. I folowed the instructions and have installed php and mysql correctly prior to this installation but when I type in localhost into my browser the page will not display and when I go to start apache I get a message informing me the apache service has failed to start. Im using norton firwall but have made sure that port 80 has been added. Any advise?

Hi

I get a message informing me the apache service has failed to start

And there is no reason mentioned in the message ? The most common problem is the configuration error. Run the [tt]httpd[/tt] with -t option to check the config file.

If no syntax error, then try to disable parts of the config file by commenting lines out and try starting the server after each change. This way you can restrict the problem area and find out what is wrong.
