Greetings,
First, I apologize in advance to anyone and everyone involved that I will
insult, confuse, agitate, etc, if my email is NOT up to the standards
documented on your site. I've read briefly your guidelines for posting and for
users obtaining information regarding their issues, questions, etc, and quite
frankly, I would pass out trying to find answers and support to my question in
the labyrinth that is your site, before I would actually find my answers. So,
I'm praying this email will get the ball rolling for the support I need.
Second, my issue. As the subject states, I am completely new to your web server
project and recently downloaded your server as part of a software bundle named
'XAMPP'. I have posted my issue on their forums and I understand what I'm
supposed to do, I just cant figure out how to do it on my system.
Apache is NOT running on my system, according to the XAMPP control panel which
would indicate if it was running by displaying the word 'running' with a
green-colored background. MySql server is running perfectly and is displayed as
such as I mentioned above.
I have performed netstat commands on DOS and have located port 80 (I'm told
should be used for Apache), and I've been told port 443 should also be used for
Apache, but I have not been able to find this port on DOS (the closest port
number I always see is 445). Every time I check processes running on my system
on Task Manager, I find TWO Apache.exe processes running, but only ONE is
reflected in netstat's results. I did mention this to XAMPP support and they
told me one is or should be the daemon process. Is there a GUI in Windows for
locating ports and assigning them? I found this running IIS, but disabled IIS
to install XAMPP as my XP Home Edition OS does not include IISS, and I can't to
save my life find a GUI in Windows to assign ports to other processes that may
be blocking the port(s) I need to run Apache.
The original and ONLY error message I'm basing my issue on is a 'The requested
URL /helloWorld.php was not found on this server.' I'm sure many of you are
familiar with the rest of this message which notes version 1.3.24 and port 80
in it.
This is my only use for your server, coding in PHP for web design and web-based
services. My apologies again, if I've now "hurt" anyone with this sentence.
So, finally, my question, how can I get Apache started and keep it running on
my system? As I mentioned in the beginning, I pray I've provided as much
information as possible to be worthy of receiving support for my
question/issue.
Best regards.
Thank you and God bless all!
