Hi,
I have installed apache in my windows xp machine.And it runs successfully.But i can not access the apache server through my browser why?
When i use local host it displays the apache welcome screen.But thats the cached version of the page.I am running apache in 8085 port.But there it says
The requested URL could not be retrieved
(111) Connection refused

When i uninstall the apache and then type localhost, it shows me the same apache welcome screen.I have tried that out with firefox and in the source of the file it says it is retriving from system cache.
what is going on here.I can not access my apache server??Help me please

I'm sure you have checked but just in case I'll ask.... Have you checked that the service is actually running?

Aslo, check your firewall... but that shouldn't affect localhost.

EDIT | And also... (sorry to patronise) you are typing "localhost:8085" yes? :)
