[users@httpd] Apache for local use only
Installation Question.
------------------------------
I wish to try out PHP and MySQL on my Windows XP PC. I read that Apache is the way to go and one communicates with it as http://localhost/ to pick up HTML, etc on one's own PC.
Hence I have downloaded the Apache Windows binaries as apache_2.2.2-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi and installed them.
As more or less expected from the FAQ, it won't run because of "Port 80" conflicts. Perhaps with my PC-Cillin Firewall, or some other program.
But:
1) I don't want to lose my virus protection/firewall facilities
2) I don't have a domain name for the internet anyway
3) I only want to access the server from my own computer
What do I do next?
Thanks
Peter

I had this problem and it worked after rebooting, with no changes to
firewall or anything else.

Thanks.
Working. I downloaded and used the C++ 2005 Runtime rather than .NET 2.0.
Peter
BTW, once u get it running, for the php part this was the advice from
"Tope":
Please get
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/mods/php5apache2.dll-php5.1.x.zip
for a fix.
Note: You need .NET 2.0 runtime for it to work.

Tope.

Thanks. By the way, how many other people are getting copied into these
emails?
Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services
lists the services but not the ports, if any, being used
Hence I cannot seem to see which are using Port 80 there
The httpd.conf file has "Listen 80" in it, and 80 after the Servername.
I haven't particularly edited it, but installation seems to have put the
correct "DocumentRoot" entry. I have now changed the Servername and
ServerAdmin to actual web addresses but that hasn't made any difference.
A clash with the Firewall was expected and is referred to on the web site.
My question is really how to detour it for local use only and without
disabling the firewall.

I remember going thru the same sorts of things. Mine runs fine now
but seems to ignore my mime type settings for php and php files come
up as text :(
If u open up control panel, administration, services, are there any
other servicves, such as tomcat, running and using the port?
also, make sure when u reinstall that u select the option for everyone
and port 80.
In one of my reinstalls I discovered it had port 8080 set by default.
if all that is correct, have u modified the httpd.conf yet? If so
there might be an error in setting for htdoc or php.

Thanks, doesn't seem to be the answer here. Re-installed Apache, same error
message re port 80, otherwise Apache installer reports success. But no
short-cuts, etc, anywhere. No error.log file. Turned off computer.
Restarted. Used system tray icon for Apache to "Start". Got "The requested
operation has failed!" message. No error.log file anywhere.
