gladius of rome Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 When I install Apache, my dad has a wireless router and it's using the IP address for it and I can't get apache index working, how do I solve this? Is there anywhere else it can go? Or any other place I can point it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelluk Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Sorry, can you explain the problem a bit clearer giving examples/details if it helps. What you've said doesn't make much sense tbh... I think you're saying apache is using the IP of your router as it's IP...? Surely it's not an using the IP of the machine it is installed on...? but... huh?

gladius of rome Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Everytime I install Apache it won't work, you know on the sercurity monitor thing? The light always shows as red, I know my Wireless router is using my IP address for something I don't know what apache won't work but for some reason it refuses to! I really don't understand why, it used to work until I got a wireless router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 What addresses are you using? If Apache is installed on the same computer as the one you're using then use http://localhost/ not your routers ip address. Also when you install Apache make sure you set the network domain and Server name to localhost too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gladius of rome Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 That's what I done and the light is not green and nothing appears in localhost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Do you have Skype installed by chance? If you do Skype will interfere with Apache, as both Apache and Skype will use port 80. You'll need to configure apache to use a different port eg 8080 instead. Ports cannot be shared simultaneously. Going to http://localhost/ should not go to your router configuration page. To change the port Apache uses open the httpd.cond and change Listen 80 to Listen 8080 Save the httpd.conf. Now Start Apache. if it starts up go to http://localhost:8080/ rather than http://localhost/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
