Configuring Apache Web Server for localhost

Post by NeelamHere »

I have installed apache web server 2 but it does not connect to port 80 that is local host. Thus it does not execute any files.

Try shutting down Skype before starting the Apache server.

Well, that's the most often seen problem with Apache and Skype :) That's why I suggested it.

Please, post Apache error logs.

Also see if port 80 is already used before starting the Apache:

[text]netstat -ao |find /i "listening"[/text]
