Some web server replied with a HTTP 404, whether apache or another. What you need to find out is whether it was Apache that replied. Supposing your ServerRoot is d:/apache2 and your ErrorLog is logs/error.log, please post the relevant parts of the file d:\apache2\logs\error.log If Apache is actually started, your error log file should contain something like: [Mon Oct 17 09:05:26 2005] [notice] Apache configured -- resuming normal operations If Apache served the HTTP 404, you should see something like: [Mon Oct 17 18:51:35 2005] [error] [client 10.0.0.1] File does not exist: d:/apache2/htdocs/hello.html and the access log 10.0.0.1 - - [17/Oct/2005:18:51:35 +0100] "GET /hello.html HTTP/1.1" 404 271 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)" If nothing like the above appears in any log file, you have another HTTP server running - maybe IIS. -ascs ________________________________ From: mohan devanoor [mailto:mohan.devanoor@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 9:34 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] problem hosting a webpage in apache(asap)..
