[users@httpd] Editing the conf breaks my server

Greetings all

Newbie alert!  I am new to this list and new to apache, so please forgive me
if my understandings of the protocols aren't 100% yet

I also did not find a dedicated list for win32 so I have assumed its the
same list.

please correct me if I am wrong


I have a problem that I seriously cannot pinpoint.

I do a bit of development on my local box and use apache (of course) as my
web server
I have installed apache quite a few times before and know how to change the
document root to another localtion ( ie D:\wed ) etc

Now I recently reinstalled windows from scratch and am now in the process of
reinstalling apache. Trying to.

I install it, open a web broswer, type localhost and i get the default page

i edit the httpd.conf file and change the document root from
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"

to

DocumentRoot "D:/web"

Which is where my web root sits

I also edit

# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">
 to
<Directory "D:/web">

and save the config and restart the server

The minute I restart the server and hit localhost in my browser , it hangs
and searches for localhost and never finds it

I have tried changing the config back to its original state to test it
again, restarting the server service all the time and still no joy.

I use the apache monitor to restart the service

NO joy

its no proxy settings or anything of the sort as I do not have  any proxy

however when I go into windows services and restart the service from there
and not the apache services monitor it seems to work, however I am still
testing this

I have reinstalled apache over and over again removed it, deleted all
remaining files, downloaded a new copy of the win32 installer installed
again and still the same problem

I am not sure if its some funky setting on this box or if the apache monitor
is wonky or if I am just forced to suffer for my sins now and cruise on
through the pearly gates at a later stage in my life.

Any idea?

please?

Could you copy and paste the relevant section from your httpd.conf file, 
just to double check?

Also, have you tried accessing specific files to see if they will load? 
I.e., http://localhost/index.htm instead of just localhost? Maybe you 
need to change your DirectoryIndex directive.

Re: [users@httpd] Editing the conf breaks my server

Posted by Paul <pa...@gmail.com>.
HI larry

I used the default httpd.conf file that comes with the install with the
exception of 2 changes ( ie changing the document path )

Even when I changed them back to the default settings theproblem was still
occuring


Its listening on port 80 as a service and no other conflicting services or
software is present

Re: [users@httpd] Editing the conf breaks my server

Posted by Larry Flathmann <ma...@elrancho.com.mx>.
Hi Paul,

Your log file doesn't indicate anything out of hte normal.

Have you tried just viewing the default page that comes with the Apache 
install, the one that says "If you can see this, it means that the 
installation of the Apache web server 
<http://www.apache.org/foundation/preFAQ.html> software on this system 
was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace 
this page." Did that work? If so, then send your httpd.conf file, 
because there's got to be some detail that's messed up.

One other possibility that comes to mind is whether you've configured 
Apache to listen on the right address (localhost, or your local IP, or 
whatever)
