My XAMP(Apache) not working when Internet is disabled

[gnawz]

Hi

 

Anyone can tell me why Apache does not work when I disable my internet?

 

I mean when I type http://locahlhost/myfile..

 

to view my php program it says it is offline and will only work when I have Internet (When I enable the Internet)

Try only http://localhost and see what happens.

 

It doesn'e matter if Internet is enabled or not. It's working on local computer only!

From what I understand of servers, and i may very well be wrong, but to communicate with a server (or web server) you need to use TCP/IP protocols. Perhaps if you have the internet disabled you're also disabling the TCP/IP protocol, which then prevents you from communicating with the web server?

 

Someone tell me if im wrong?

Even when I try http://localhost

 

It won't work. It only does when my Internet connection is on.

Seems your browser is switching to its "off-line" state when it detects no internet connection. When you're not connected to the net go to the File menu and uncheck Work Offline if its selected and try accessing http://localhost

 

NOTE: If you're using IE7+ you'll need to hold the Alt key down to see the toolbar menu

 

Access to localhost or 127.0.0.1 does not require any internet connection at all. The problem you're having is to do with your browsers configuration.
