Still Cant Load LOCALHOST

hi,

well, I have searched the entire forum, tried everything mentioned in every post, but still CANT load localhost (or 127.0.0.1 or by servername)

here is the useful info (before u even say it):
- Deleted Skype (even removed entries from regedit)
- Dont have NOD32,
- I use AVAST 4.8, completed terminated it, but still no use.
- Disabled LAN, remove LAN Cable, no use
- Disabled firewall
- used TCPView to check ports, all clear, no use
- Changed ports in httpd.conf to what ever number I could think of
- MySQL Control Center easily connects to port 3306, hence its only a problem with Apache.
- downgraded, Upgraded WAMP etc
- Restart Windows, WAMP, browsers etc several times
- Used Firefox 3, IE7, Flock and Chrome - no use
- changed proxy settings where ever possible
- Googled for the solution, no one has one - every blog stops at useless skype advice
- C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/host settings perfect
- and cant remember what else I did for the last 8 hours
- My AntiVirus is uptodate (always) and scanning found nothing, cant recall any attack previously since long either



So, anybody got a solution or what?

Hi,

Just other ideas you didn't think about :
    - What color is your wamp icon ?
    - Are there any error in apache error log, system log (run eventvwr.msc) ?
    - What did you install before (xampp, easyPHP, standalone bins), because MySQL Control Center is not included with Wamp...

hahaha, I knew u were gonna ask this. sorry I forgot it earlier.

so here is more info:
- color: white

- The errors in Windows Evet Viewers are only related to "Disabled use of AcceptEx() WinSock2 API" which is a result of "Win32DisableAcceptEx" added in httpd.conf. I needed to add this line cause of other errors without it, (errorlog recommended to add this line).

- My network provider uses ISA Server, so I have ISA Client installed (but I disabled it aswell - no use).


yea, about MySQL CC: I like to use it, so I installed it separately. It did not come with any package. but its really cool.

Regards,
Raheel

and it is repeated every time I re-start WAMP, or Apache Service.

By the way, here are two info I thought u would like to know:

- as u can see the error log, these are all notices. but I changed and rechanged and rechanged LogLever to 'warn' and even 'error'. but no use. it still shows errors of notice level.

- I downloaded and installed the patch / update u posted. it did not change anything. The view is same, no new options added in the task bar menu.

Hum.

My patch is for adding new features on a working wamp install, because it should be installed using its alias and so, requires apache working... You would test it after solving your problem ;-)

The only thing I can see is that error :
"An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Too many errors in select loop"

=> Many questions about it, but not enough answers... Will try to find a correct answer..

My network provider uses ISA Server, so I have ISA Client installed (but I disabled it aswell - no use)
disable will NOT help since its setting still has effect, so you must uninstall all web servers including wampserver and firewalls/antivirus, remove wamp folder, run regedit to search and delete wampapache, wampmysql and any other web server registry, restart pc, reinstall wamp and only reinstall firewalls/antivirus after and while wamp is running successful

1. OMG. This will take a whole day. I mean if you talk about custom settings of every thing to uninstall and reinstall (and then update).


2. "An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Too many errors in select loop". u are so right, I have been thinking to find a domain of reasons for this. it could be anything.

and I also forgot to mention:

- I dont have any other webserver: No IIS.

- WAMP5 was first completely uninstalled as recommended by the download page and then new WAMP was installed.

well guess what.

"Command : netsh winsock reset" blew up my ISA Client. and now everything (WAMP) works perfectly. But I cant access my Internet properly now, my service provider will block access first thing in the morning cause I broke his 1 and only rule of the game grinning smiley what a twist of fate. so if I fix that, I cant use WAMP (I hope not, lets try).

So dear moderator, u can add 'ISA' to the list of anti-Apache Missiles:
1. Skype,
2. Nod32,
3. ISA


grinning smiley

Regards,
Raheel

PS: I hope it wont take another 8 hrs to fix everything together.

Okay, it works !

So, tell us if it works when you have restored your config...

About Skype, it's not fatal. It just uses the same port as Apache, a configuration solves the problem. ;-)

correct me if I'm wrong, but I hope it's not only me wonder about the word server in ISA server??? anyway, wamp work when your ISA is not, so you should be able to figure out how to get them both work winking smiley

hahaha. actually I have 'ISA Client' installed, not 'ISA Server' grinning smiley

well, the problem is back. I had to re-install ISA Client due to my Internet Service Providers Mandatory Requirement. as soon as it is installed, Apache stops responding.

so its ISA in = Apache Out.

lets try to fix that.

Or right focks. I did it. Finally. Now both ISA Client ans WAMP runs. (unfortunately WAMP5 V 1.4.4 and not WAMP 2.0)

here's what I did:

- Disable LAN, WAMP, ISA Client
- Theres a utility called "Windows Installer Clean up", used it to delete all tracks of ISA Client.
- Uninstalled WAMP Completely
- "netsh winsock reset" in Run (from Start Menu)
- Re-start PC

- Install WAMP5 (older version instead of WAMP 2.0)
- Install ISA Client (2006) again

and thats it. Games On. 24 hrs ride for this thing. "Windows Installer Clean up" saved life for the second time, once before I also had trouble removing all tracks of another s/w.

So thanks Moderator for being so nice in replies.
and Thanx Florian for the netshl command, it was a great help.

-----------------------

I will test run WAMP for a couple of days to see if any trouble comes up. and if it does, I know u gyz will be there to help

Raheel
