spiderdan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I am very new to this and have tried several times to get apache working. I have installed apache and it is running, however when I type in http://localhost/, 127.0.0.1, or my ip address in takes me to a page saying internet explorer cannot display this page. If I type in http://localhost:8080/ (localhost + the port apache is running on) it takes me to a 403 Forbidden page. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

apacheguy Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Apache is probably set to listen on port 8080. This can be reconfigured in the httpd file. As for the forbidden message, there must be a "deny all" in the same config file. Note: If you are new to this, the httpd file can be found in the directory "conf" Edit: I would also appreciate if you would post the error log.

spiderdan Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Alright, I chaged the deny from all to allow from all and know it works when I type in http://localhost:8080/ or 127.0.0.1:8080, or my computers ip address on my network with :8080 after it (I am working behind a router), however it still does not work when I type in http://localhost, 127.0.0.1, or my ip address on the network or my routers ip on the internet. I will copy and paste my error log below. Thanks for the tip!

apacheguy Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 This is what I am talking about: Starting thread to listen on port 8080 That was in your error log. What this means is that in the same httpd file there is a note saying "Listen 8080". Use CTRL+F (find) to locate this in the document. Replace it with "Listen 80". Once that has been completed, restart the apache service. You should be good to go. Note: The periods were placed outside of the quotes just to avoid confusion.

findingmyway Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi, I'm even newer to all this than spiderdan, so please excuse me if what I ask seems all too obvious. Like spiderdan I have installed Apache (using XAMPP) and like him I can't get localhost to recognise the Apache system. I have looked in the httpd.conf file and I can see that it is listening to port 80. As far as I can tell this port is being used by other systems: probably my home network that links to the internet through a router. I presume this means I need to change the gate number that Apache is listening on from "80" to something else ("79"? "90"?). Is that correct or does it have to be gate 80? Alternatively, can I leave it listening to gate 80 as long as the address is different from any being used by my network? Assuming that I do need to change the gate, how do I do this? Will a simple instruction "Listen xx" in the appropriate place in the conf file be all that is needed or does something else have to change too? Thanking you in advance, I do hope that you can help with this as I want to get on with learning PHP! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apacheguy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 First of all, it may be helpful if you could post the error log. Apache can listen to other ports, but I would not jump to this solution immediately. That is because everytime you go to the site you will have to enter the port after the address (ie localhost:81) not to mention the people on the outside trying to access the site. Instead, I would suggest using TCPView by system internals located here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/TcpView.mspx Find the application that is using the port and terminate it (if it is safe to do so). Start up apache and, it should start without any errors. Will a simple instruction "Listen xx" in the appropriate place in the conf file be all that is needed Yes, you have the right idea. Listen followed by the port number will do the trick. Note: Next time try to start a new thread rather than asking in an existing one.
