Apache 2.2.11 stopped working on Vista Home Premium
Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 9:57 am
hello folks.
Systems:
Vista Home Premium SP1, all up to date patches installed
Apache 2.2.11 win
Firewall switched OFF
Virus Guard switched OFF
malware/virus sweep: Scan produced no malware/viruses, then switched OFF during install below
Windows Vista Firewall switched OFF
Apache 2.2.9 stopped working on Vista Home Premium after I installed Vista SP1 and NVIDIA patches.
I've done the following:
1. uninstalled Apache via the windows add/remove programs in Control Panel
2. manually deleted all Apache folder files from c:\program files (including http.config which wasn't automatically removed)
3. manually removed all instances of "apache" from windows Registry using RegEdit
4. run Registry Mechanic to fix/remove any remaining instances
5. re-installed Apache 2.2.11 , running the installer as administrator , using the process here http://www.thesitewizard.com/apache/ins ... ista.shtml
6. remapped the listening port to 8080 in http.conf (Vista already has services listening to port 80 ) . Previous instance of Apache 2.2.9 worked perfectly on port 8080 as well
7. rebooted PC etc..
8. checked that Apache 2.2.11 services are running. netstat -ao shows apache listening on port 8080
9. Apache icon on windows taskbar shows green "Running All Apache Services"
http://localhost:8080/ still fails to load using FF nor IE8
any ideas on how to troubleshoot? anybody else having trouble with Vista Home Premium ?
thanks
Conor
