Newbie Alert! Apache 2.2.6 crash on start

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All. Hope you are well.
I'm a newbie to Apache and this group, so please forgive my lack of experience and knowledge. I am trying to install Apache on my home pc so that I can practice server-side scripting. I have just installed the latest Apache, but it crashes almost before it starts! No error log has even been produced. I see the command prompt open and a message tells me that I have disabled AcceptEx() Winsock2 API, then XP tells me that Apache has crashed and asks if I want to report the error. A few days ago M$ told me that something was clashing with a generic Win32 host process when I reported the error, but when I applied the fix and rebooted Apache crashed again. M$ then redirected me back to the same fix.

I have not yet installed PHP or MySQL, so I am hoping that they are not the problem. I tried installing Apache 2.0, but the install kept failing.

I run XP Pro with sp2 and Z is a virtual network drive. I have tried eliminating unnecessary applications to no avail, even going so far as to start Apache in Safe Mode - it complained about line 57, the Listen 80 line, which I commented out. I started Apache again, still in Safe Mode, and it crashed again. I have also applied the fixes found at the Apache site, and I am still no better off.

I am including the entire text from my httpd.conf file in case I have changed something that I should not without realising it:

#Changes I made cos Apache was crashing 24/10/07

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned. #
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2" will be interpreted by the # server as "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid
# confusion.
#

# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in the server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum  number of requests a server process serves
ThreadsPerChild 250
MaxRequestsPerChild  0

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
Listen 80

# 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
#
ServerAdmin cstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
ServerName localhost

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "Z:/home/localhost/www"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features. #
<Directory Z:/>
   Options Indexes Includes
   AllowOverride All
   Allow from all
</Directory>

#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#

#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#


#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
<IfModule dir_module>
   DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html
</IfModule>

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
   Order allow,deny
   Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

#
# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here.  If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
#
ErrorLog logs/error.log

#
# LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
#
LogLevel warn

<IfModule log_config_module>
   #
   # The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
   # a CustomLog directive (see below).
   #
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
   LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common

   #
   # The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format).
   # If you do not define any access logfiles within a <VirtualHost>
   # container, they will be logged here.  Contrariwise, if you *do*

   CustomLog logs/access.log common

   #
   # If you prefer a logfile with access, agent, and referer information
   # (Combined Logfile Format) you can use the following directive.
   #
   #CustomLog logs/access.log combined
</IfModule>

<IfModule alias_module>
   #
   # Redirect: Allows you to tell clients about documents that used to
   # exist in your server's namespace, but do not anymore. The client
   # will make a new request for the document at its new location.
   # Example:
   # Redirect permanent /foo http:///bar

   #
   # Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
   # access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
   # Example:
   # Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
   #
   # If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
   # require it to be present in the URL.  You will also likely
   # need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
   # the filesystem path.

   #
   # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
   # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
   # documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
   # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
   # client.  The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias
   # directives as to Alias.
   #
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "z:/home/localhost/cgi/"
   ScriptAlias /cgi/ "z:/home/localhost/cgi/"

</IfModule>

#
# "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#


#
# Apache parses all CGI scripts for the shebang line by default.
# This comment line, the first line of the script, consists of the symbols
# pound (#) and exclamation (!) followed by the path of the program that
# can execute this specific script.  For a perl script, with perl.exe in
# the C:\Program Files\Perl directory, the shebang line should be:

  #!c:/program files/perl/perl

# Note you _must_not_ indent the actual shebang line, and it must be the
# first line of the file.  Of course, CGI processing must be enabled by
# the appropriate ScriptAlias or Options ExecCGI directives for the files
# or directory in question.
#
# However, Apache on Windows allows either the Unix behavior above, or can
# use the Registry to match files by extention.  The command to execute
# a file of this type is retrieved from the registry by the same method as
# the Windows Explorer would use to handle double-clicking on a file.
# These script actions can be configured from the Windows Explorer View menu,
# 'Folder Options', and reviewing the 'File Types' tab.  Clicking the Edit
# button allows you to modify the Actions, of which Apache 1.3 attempts to
# perform the 'Open' Action, and failing that it will try the shebang line.
# This behavior is subject to change in Apache release 2.0.
#
# Each mechanism has it's own specific security weaknesses, from the means
# to run a program you didn't intend the website owner to invoke, and the
# best method is a matter of great debate.
#
# To enable the this Windows specific behavior (and therefore -disable- the
# equivilant Unix behavior), uncomment the following directive:
#
#ScriptInterpreterSource registry
#
# The directive above can be placed in individual <Directory> blocks or the
# .htaccess file, with either the 'registry' (Windows behavior) or 'script'
# (Unix behavior) option, and will override this server default option.
#

#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/plain

<IfModule mime_module>
   #
   # TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from
   # filename extension to MIME-type.
   #
   TypesConfig conf/mime.types

   #
   # AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
   # file specified in TypesConfig for specific file types.
   #
   #AddType application/x-gzip .tgz
   #
   # AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
   # information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
   #
   #AddEncoding x-compress .Z
   #AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
   #
   # If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you
   # probably should define those extensions to indicate media types:
   #
   AddType application/x-compress .Z
   AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

   #
   # AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
   # or added with the Action directive (see below)
   #
   # To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
   # (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
   #
   AddHandler cgi-script .bat .exe .cgi

   # For type maps (negotiated resources):
   #AddHandler type-map var

   #
   # Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
   #
   # To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
   # (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
   #
   AddType text/html .shtml
   AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html .htm
   #AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
</IfModule>

#
# The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints from the
# contents of the file itself to determine its type.  The MIMEMagicFile
# directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located.
#
#MIMEMagicFile conf/magic

#
# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:
# 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects
#
# Some examples:
#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 http:///subscription_info.html
#

#
# EnableMMAP and EnableSendfile: On systems that support it,
# memory-mapping or the sendfile syscall is used to deliver
# files.  This usually improves server performance, but must
# be turned off when serving from networked-mounted
# filesystems or if support for these functions is otherwise
# broken on your system.
#
#EnableMMAP off
#EnableSendfile off

# Supplemental configuration
#
# The configuration files in the conf/extra/ directory can be
# included to add extra features or to modify the default configuration of
# the server, or you may simply copy their contents here and change as
# necessary.

# Server-pool management (MPM specific)
#Include conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf

# Multi-language error messages
#Include conf/extra/httpd-multilang-errordoc.conf

# Fancy directory listings
#Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf

# Language settings
#Include conf/extra/httpd-languages.conf

# User home directories
#Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

# Real-time info on requests and configuration
#Include conf/extra/httpd-info.conf

# Virtual hosts
#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

# Local access to the Apache HTTP Server Manual
#Include conf/extra/httpd-manual.conf

# Distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV)
#Include conf/extra/httpd-dav.conf

# Various default settings
#Include conf/extra/httpd-default.conf

# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
#Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
#
# Note: The following must must be present to support
#       starting without SSL on platforms with no /dev/random equivalent
#       but a statically compiled-in mod_ssl.
#
<IfModule ssl_module>
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
</IfModule>

TIA
All help is appreciated.
