WampServer

I have 20+ years in the computer field. But not much in the development field.
basic, cobal, pascal, HTML, Started Python

Having done HTML in the pass. Time to update my Knowledge. My ultimate goal is to switch the family's business over to OpenSource: Apache, MySQL, OpenOffice

New to Apache and wamp5.
System WinXP Home SP2, 512mb Ram, 160 Gb free HD, dual boot ubuntu
comodo antivirus. Had Comodo firewall now Sygate personal firewall
I use Firefox as my default browser.

Installed Apache2 by itself first. Localhost did not work nor did locathost:80
removed Apache2 found Wamp5 installed it. took defaults. no change to httpd.conf
Both Services are running manuel and started. localhost times out still.
Verify httpd.conf with others posted. localhost still times out.
removed wamp5 reinstalled it to a different hard drive. Same results. Removed Comodo firewall and install Sygate firewall. configured firewall to allow port 80 and PHP, Apache. I test port 80 through wamp.

I ran netstat -ano

I have read anything I can find on the internet. Which brought me back to this form.
I read most of the thread here. But after almost two weeks and many cups of coffee. I have tried different install routines and suggestions. I'm at a lost.


Still localhost and localhost:80 still times out

when uninstall your old apache, did you also clean registry as well before install wampserver? if not, find it in faq for how to do it

The apache -k uninstall
Yes and the service was remove

so you did use regedit to remove apache from registry?

I deleted the c:\program files\apache2 directory.

No, I will do that now. Should I uninstall Wamp and do a reinstall?

Okay, I used Regedit and rip out any reference to apache.

I uninstalled Wamp5 and ran regedit and remove all directories.

Installed Wamp5.

Localhost times out

recently, a lot of people report that they have problem w/ files d/l from souceforge, so hope you dont mind try uninstall, clean registry of apache, mysql again; then, d/l files, which I'm using now as you can see in the bottom, from this link

Okay doing that now. I will get back with you.

Still the same issue. Later today, I going to reformat my drive. I have all my data on a secondary drive anyway.

So I will install XP-home
then Wamp5 . test it

then Firewall, anti-virus, then the rest.

I have not reformatted in about 2 years. It is overdue anyway. I will let you know the results.
apache has never worked on this machine.

Thanks for your help.

Jack

if you're about re-format your hd, read my old for suggestion for that.
