RE: [users@httpd] apache2 and win2K RE: [users@httpd] repost theweird problem ---apache test fail
Hi chris,
I have tried your build Apache_2.0.48-Openssl_0.9.7c-Win32.zip on two pcs, both are operated by windows2000, one with mcafee firewall installed and another without the firewall. Apache worked on the one without firewall but failed on the one with firewall (even disabled). I am still not sure if the problem is dependent on the installed firewall software.
Really apericate your help on the problem!
Haifeng

Liu,
I have Apache2 installed on several thousand Win2K machines and I do not
experience the problem you are having. I grant you that my setup is not
what 'comes out of the box' but it is a simple implementation. I do not
think your problem is OS dependent nor do I feel there is anything wrong
with Apache2.
I don't have an answer for you, from the information that we have
learned.
Could you possibly make your installation available - zip it up and let
me download it - to see if I can see what is wrong?
Or perhaps you could try this...
1. Download one of my builds - http://tor.ath.cx/~hunter/apache
2. Unzip it into the directory 'c:\apache'
3. In a console go to 'c:\apache\bin' and run 'apache -k install'
4. Then run 'net start apache2'
Do not change anything in 'httpd.conf' and it should start and you
should be able view the test page.
We could at least find a place to start from. If this does not work then
you need to look somewhere else for the solution - firewall, etc.

Haifeng,
This is good news...
I think you should take a close look at your firewall configuration.
I am testing Sygate Personal Firewall for another department at work.
They remotely configure it. I have had to uninstall it several times
because it was interfering with my work wiht Apache, cURL and my own TCP
message handler.

It is. Firewalls implement their own TCP stack, which generally are buggy
and can break software like Apache, because all traffic flows through it
(even if it's disabled). McAffee's Firewall is well known to be a problem
with Apache (search the bug database!). Rule of thumb: don't use software
firewalls on production (Windows) servers.
