WampServer

I have installed WampServer and everything flowed according to instructions until I tried to access Localhost.

My FF browser opens and remains in the 'loading' state.

I have tried vairious combinations to no avail.

I have scanned the posts and the only thing that I see close to this asks for a conf file to be modified.

I have changed from 80 to 8080 and restarted and now get this result in FF. " Network Timeout The operation timed out when attempting to contact www.localhost.com."

Can anyone advise?

TIA

try this

[127.0.0.1]

Thanks.

I tried that with listen 80 and got the perpetual 'loading'

I changed to listen 8080 and got this message ... 'Failed to Connect The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1'

It is yellow as far as I can determine .. so small!

? its the size of all the icon? maybe ur screen res is too high 2264x 1856 or something.

if it is yellow then apache is not runing.? do u have skype or antivirus installed?

Sorry, I changed my screen resolution to be sure. It is actually white.

white means that services are running.,, can you goto c:/wamp/logs and post up ur apache logs

Sorry for the delay..

I can't (won't) post the error log. I couldn't open it and investigated .... Properties = 41,951,462 KB !!!

There is clearly something amiss. Should I delete this and open a new apache_error.log ?

The access log is empty.

i dunno .. if it was writing to the file and u opened it u amy get funny readings on size,,,

close wamp and check size. if still wrong delete it. and restart.

id say it will stay empty, in which case u most likely have microsoft iis installed . wat version of window? and wat other programs ar eon pc in terms of conencting to internet, firewalls, anivirus , skype etc etc

I am running Windows XP Media Centre Edition Version 2002.

I have AVG Internet Security 7.5 installed. (licensed version)

No Skype etc.


I deleted it and opened WampServer again. It immediately sent the log racing. I stooped it and an extract is below.

place this in ur httpd.conf file


Win32DisableAcceptEx

#EnableMMAP off
#EnableSendfile off

I am sorry Steven, I don't understand.

I was editing the htpd.conf file via the pop up control. Is there another way?

I exited WampServer between each test.

avg might causes the problem, uninstall it, try again, then reinstall avg if wamp works
