Cannot connect to server

[blobby]

Hi there,

 

 

I am very new to this kind of stuff so i appologise in advance for being a numpty!

 

There are a couple of threads similar to this one but none really solve my issue.

 

I installed WAMP5 and all was well untill i uploaded my site to my host using dreamweavers built in ftp client.

 

After that I could not view any pages on localhost, it tried to open a page for ages (using all of the cpu usage) but just returned nothing (including phpadmin).

 

I re installed WAMP5 and all was well again.

 

However, i have just uploaded my site again using my hosts ftp client,  and the same thing has happened!!

 

I have tried to view my error log but it's too large to open!! it's 801,814kb.

 

Sometimes i get the usual 'page cannot be displayed' message.  Mostly tho the page just stays blank (white) untill it times out or i get fed up of waiting!

 

I have moved the original error file and it put a new one there all by itself.  It has the following errors logged:-

that is at the start of the log, but then this line appears thousands of times :-

Then this lot:-

then this line thousands on times:-

the 2 lines that have been repeated lots of times make up alomost all of the the 801,814kb file.

 

  I think that the new log is being continously written to.

 

hope this helps a bit.

 

 

Can anyone help me please?

 

Thanks in advance

believe me I'm trying, but gettin nowhere!!!!!

 

[steviewdr]

Look at the first result I got from google:

http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&q=apache+Encountered+too+many+errors+accepting+client+connections.&meta=

 

It suggests something about xp and lookback and firewall etc.

 

Also - the second result from the above search ( http://www.issociate.de/board/post/257555/New_Apache_2.0_54_install_on_Windows_2K3_Server.html ) shows a way of how to fix your problem via a edit of httpd.conf

 

Its all about your search string. You need to pick out a common search thread. I used:

apache Encountered too many errors accepting client connections

in google.
