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.

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.

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
