hi,

i installed wamp on my pc (xp sp2) with my windows firewall disabled and i got no other firewalls installed, nor skype, iis, isa firewall client disabled. and installation completes with no errors, all wamp services are running properly but when i go to [localhost] , nothing happens. it seems like it's trying to load the page but it waits and waits... then says paga cannot be displayed.

i installed it more than 10 so far. before each install i uninstall wamp, delete c:\wamp folder and everything includes "wamp" in registry. i've got no standalone apache installed (maybe i could happen to install it before but there's no sign of Apache in Add/Remove Programs, and it finds nothing when i search "apache" )

i tried apache2triad and easyPHP too and they act the same..

what could be the problem?

are you on a router? Does your ISP block port 80?

Try adding the following lines into your httpd.conf file, then restart your apache service and try;

EnableSendfile Off
EnableMMAP Off
Win32DisableAcceptEx

Cheers

It costed me hell of a time but i found the problem. It was NOD32 Antivirus preventing me. I re-installed WinXP, then installed hardware drivers. WAMP was the first software to test, and it worked very well. Then i started installing my other software one by one, trying to run WAMP after each install. It got stuck after installing NOD32.

Silly me. I couldn't figure out such problem may occur. NOD32 installation wizard warns you when installing on a Server OS by saying something like "running IMON service (internet monitor of NOD32) isn't recommended for servers", but there's no warning message when installing on XP.

Whatever..
