Hi, I'm new to the list but a long time user of apache - great piece of software. I've never needed this list before but I seem to have run into a rather odd problem I can't solve. I downloaded and ran the .MSI installer of 2.2.4 on one of my Win2K boxes. I moved IIS over to port 8080 and installed apache on port 80. The installation went off without a hitch - the install log has no errors at all. The first thing I did was cranked the log level up to debug and restart the server. The error log now contains the following: [Thu Mar 15 12:56:49 2007] [notice] Parent: Received restart signal -- Restarting the server. [Thu Mar 15 12:56:49 2007] [notice] Child 4096: Exit event signaled. Child process is ending.

So, everything seems fine... so far as I can see. The problem is, the server _NEVER_ responds to a single get command. Here's everything I tried so far: - I've tried IE and Firefox, no difference... they just sit and wait until they timeout. - I've tried telneting to the server. I get connected but any get command I've tried results in no response and no disconnection... it just sits there like I haven't typed anything. If you stop the server while telneted to it, you get disconnected - so I know it's the right server. - I've stopped the server, done a netstat (it wasn't there), restart the server and done a netstat (now it's there). - The access log is _completely_ empty... no help there. - I've disabled all firewalls and networking protection - including uninstalling my virus scanner. - I've made sure IIS works on port 80 - so I know it's not a firewall issue. - I've tried reconfiguring the server for a different port (8081), no difference. - To be safe I've rebooted after messing with firewalls and uninstalling virus scanners, etc. (_the_ windows solution didn't work) - I've even reinstalled the thing _several_ times. I'm running out of ideas... anyone else have any I haven't thought of? - Gareth --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
