wildteen88 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Apache should not affect your router. You are most probably going to your computers LAN address (eg 192.168.2.2), which would of been assigned by your router. Your router will have its own IP Address, normally it is something like 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 the correct address will be mentioned in yours routers manual.

wildteen88 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hold on. How on earth did you manage to install Apache to your routers ip address. I just tried setting my Apache installation to my routers IP address and Apache fails to load. Anyway If Apache was listening on 192.168.0.1 then surely your computer wont be able to connect to the internet as no IP address was assigned by your router. What is the make and model of your router? Seems strange to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimath Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 level one i do not remember the model. can i see anywhere if apache has been assigned router IP? logically i know that it would have 127.0.0.1 Thanks anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 can i see anywhere if apache has been assigned router IP? By having a look in Apaches configuration file which is called httpd.conf level one i do not remember the model. The make and model is usually printed on the base of the router itself and the manual. logically i know that it would have 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 is a loop back address. This ip is used by your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimath Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 If it has been assigned the 192.168.0.1 ip of router, can i change that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes you can in the httpd.conf. However can you access your router if you stop Apache? If you still can't access your router after Apache has stopped then either your router is borked or your routers address is not 192.168.0.1 (this the most likely scenario) Is your router attached to your PC? What yppe of router is it (Wired or Wireless). Can you post the model and make of your router. If you tell me this then I can search for the manual for that router to understand how it works. I still standby what I said last time though. This has got to be your computers LAN address. Your computers LAN address will not be the same as your routers address.

wildteen88 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I now see what your problem is. First make sure Apache is completely stopped. I presume you're on Windows XP - the following steps should work on Vista. To stop Apache from starting up automatically go to Start > Run and type in services.msc into the Run box. Click OK and the services window will open. Now in the list of services you should find the Apache service. Right click on the Service and click Properties. Press the Stop button if Apache is already running. When the service has stopped, look just above the Start Stop and Restart buttons you find the Startup Type pull down menu. It should be set to Automatic, if it is click the menu and choose Manual. Now click ok to all open dialog boxes. The Apache service will now not startup when Windows starts. NOTE: The following maybe different if your have Vista, I believe you can do this from Control Panel under the Network category. The following will work if you're using XP. You'll also want to consult your routers manual too. Now to get your laptop to reconnect to your router you'll need to re-setup the Wireless connection. You can do this within windows by using the Wireless Network Setup Wizard by going Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > Wireless Network Setup Wizard Run through the wizard to reconnect your laptop to your wireless network. You'll most probably need to provide your WEP or WAP/WAP2 key in order for your laptop to connect to the wireless. This would of been setup when you installed your router. Once your laptop is reconnected I will help you to reconfigure Apache to use a different IP Address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
