spinjack Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Installed Apache 2.2.6 on XP SP2 and elected NOT to run it as a service, but to launch it manually when I need it. So, it only launched in a console (dunno if this has anything to do with the problem, but...). I also have php 5.2.5 installed and, based upon the Apache log files, the php module is loading correctly. So here is the problem. I set up a test page per these instructions (http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/install-apache-php-mysql.php#apacheconf) to verify that apache and php are working correctly. When I try to browse to the test page I get nothing. No errors, no entries in the Apache logs. Just nothing. What do I need to check/verify/change/etc to either figure out what is wrong or to fix the problem? Oh, I did change the DocumentRoot to "C:/www" and that is where test.php resides. Thanks in advance for the help. Though I have some programming background, web apps are brand new for me.

themightydude Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Out of curiosity, can you create a HTML document in the www root folder and will it show that? i.e..create a file with the following <html> <title>test</title> <body> TEST </body> </html> Save that as index.htm or index.html and see if you can display that.

spinjack Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 That doesn't load either (http://localhost/index.html). It displayed just fine using file:///C:/www/index.html though. What raises a red flag in my mind is that Apache only gives me the option of running in console mode. Is that the only option if I want to manually start it? I've had apache installed on another machine (put there by a web developer co-worker) and didn't have this issue. I've attached my apache conf file (saved as a txt for forum upload) in case that helps.

trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 What raises a red flag in my mind is that Apache only gives me the option of running in console mode. Apache doesn't have a gui if thats what your infering. You do realise your config has apache setup to listen on port 8080? Try... http://localhost:8080/index.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/87483-noob-needing-help/#findComment-447727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I know there is no GUI, but the console window doesn't have anything in it. No messages of any kind. You do realise your config has apache setup to listen on port 8080? Try... http://localhost:8080/index.html That did it. Both test scripts work. Thanks!!! Like I said, I'm brand new at this. I'm sure you'll hear a lot more from me.

trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 If you'd like to get it to work with a normal http://localhost url, simply change the Listen directive to port 80 in your httpd.conf file.

One of the tutorials I read said something about a conflict with port 80 when skype is installed. I check if out, though. Thanks.
