[Miguel Angel Mulero Martinez]

So that can be. Add the 127.0.0.1 localhost.

Good luck!

The HOSTS file (without .sam) lists an IP address of:

142.179.202.248 www.paramagnus.com

I checked this URL out and it appears to be the URL of a software
manufacturer (who specifically make SpeedNet - which I had installed on
my PC some time ago).

Why that is there I have no idea? And that is the only IP address in
that file. The HOSTS.sam file has the 127.0.0.1 localhost listed and
nothing else.

Raj,

I checked the HOSTS.sam file in the Windows directory and 127.0.0.1
Localhost is listed and nothing else.

I do not have any Proxy server settings set-up (and didn't previously
when Apache was working fine).

I have a LAN card installed on this PC - the computer name is JK and the
Workgroup is MSHOME. This is obviously where Apache got the
jk.mshome.net configuration from.

There is nothing wrong with the the apache Installation. telnet to port
80 shows that apache is configured properly and working. Few things to
check are:-

Check the hosts file int he window directory. See if you have setup any
hosts in the host files.

Check proxy setting of your browser.

Do you have a LAN card installed on your PC? If yest what is the host
name you have set in your LAN settings?

There is a problem with network settings. Browser is not sending the
correct hostname to the server and therefore you dont see any thing.

THe telnet shows that it got the index.html and other image files.

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Geoffrey Khan]

I ran ipconfig and see two 192 numbers on 1 Ethernet Adapter which I
know are the XP PC and this PC.

The 0 Ethernet Adapter has no listing of IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway, but I presume that is just the hub and the 1 Ethernet
Adapter is the card in this PC.

When I type this 192 IP address into a browser I see the same as if I
were to type localhost  ie. a blank, white screen.

I'm running a virus check now.

Run the following command on Dos prompt

Do you see an IP adress apart from 127.0.0.1? If you see some thing like

192... or 10.. try accessing your application by enterging this addess 
in ur browser. However, your network setting shows that your network is 
missconfigured. Your jk.mshome.net should have returned a private IP and

not the localhost.

I strongly recommed to run a virus scanner and re-install your network. 
This problem is related to network and not apache.

Yes, I am using this PC for internet access. Basically, I have an XP PC
downstairs which connects directly to the net (and is the "master" PC in
the network) and this one with the Apache server on it is connected as
the "slave".

I did think I may have a virus, but haven't run a check yet because it
takes so long - I mean REALLY long.

yes, that is where the trouble start.

Are you using this card for Internet access? You can try re-installing 
the network. I can certainly tell you now that this is the problem of 
your network nothing else.

If you can remove your card and network setting, try installing only 
dialup adapter.

There is certainly some thing wrong with your network. Check for some 
virus attack. That may also be a possibitiy.

I've checked the config file and the Server Name is 127.0.0.1, so I
don't know why it says jk.mshome.net when I try to ping Localhost.

I've attache my config file again.

OK, that's a problem.  I don't have your httpd.conf any more, but there
shouldn't be any hostnames in there whatsoever if all you are doing is
accessing localhost.  Instead of hostnames, it should say "localhost".

Raj,

I checked the HOSTS.sam file in the Windows directory and 127.0.0.1
Localhost is listed and nothing else.

I do not have any Proxy server settings set-up (and didn't previously
when Apache was working fine).

I have a LAN card installed on this PC - the computer name is JK and the
Workgroup is MSHOME. This is obviously where Apache got the
jk.mshome.net configuration from.

There is nothing wrong with the the apache Installation. telnet to port
80 shows that apache is configured properly and working. Few things to
check are:-

Check the hosts file int he window directory. See if you have setup any
hosts in the host files.

Check proxy setting of your browser.

Do you have a LAN card installed on your PC? If yest what is the host
name you have set in your LAN settings?

There is a problem with network settings. Browser is not sending the
correct hostname to the server and therefore you dont see any thing.

THe telnet shows that it got the index.html and other image files.

Re: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Raj Saini]

yes, that is where the trouble start.

Are you using this card for Internet access? You can try re-installing 
the network. I can certainly tell you now that this is the problem of 
your network nothing else.

If you can remove your card and network setting, try installing only 
dialup adapter.

There is certainly some thing wrong with your network. Check for some 
virus attack. That may also be a possibitiy.

Re: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Raj Saini]

it is better to re-install your networks (the TCP/IP stack) then 
re-installing the apache. Apache can not change the behaviour of the 
ping commonad. It should be some thing to do with your hostname in the 
network settings or in the hosts file in your windoes directory.

Re: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Raj Saini]

There is nothing wrong with the the apache Installation. telnet to port 
80 shows that apache is configured properly and working. Few things to 
check are:-

Check the hosts file int he window directory. See if you have setup any 
hosts in the host files.

Check proxy setting of your browser.

Do you have a LAN card installed on your PC? If yest what is the host 
name you have set in your LAN settings?

There is a problem with network settings. Browser is not sending the 
correct hostname to the server and therefore you dont see any thing.

THe telnet shows that it got the index.html and other image files.

Raj



Your browser proxy setting.

I pinged jk.mshome.net and the IP address is one I recognise.

I'll just uninstall and reinstall Apache.

Thanks for your help anyway.

I won't debate you.  You mentioned that you entered jk.mshome.net when
the installer asked.  That's fine, but that means that jk.mshome.net has
to work.  By "work" I mean resolve correctly and Apache has to be
expecting requests for that hostname.  If Apache is set to look for
localhost, and instead sees a request for jk.mshome.net, it won't work.
Conversely, if Apache is set to look for jk.mshome.net but instead
receives requests for localhost or 127.0.0.1, it won't work then,
either.  As I said, things have to match.  If a previous version handled
things differently, that's something that was probably resolved in later
versions (which you are using now), for better or worse.

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Geoffrey Khan]

Well, that is what I'll do - reinstall Apache.

However, as I said previously, this whole situation arose due to Apache
not showing the Localhost directory. It was working fine for over a year
on this PC and I didn't change ANY of the settings or add any hardware
prior to it's not working.

OK, we're going around in circles.  There are a couple of issues here.

- if ServerName in httpd.conf is 127.0.0.1, then that is what you put in
the URL
- 127.0.0.1 = localhost, on every computer in the world, it's a standard
- do you have a hosts file or some other DNS setting that is resolving
jk.mshome.net to 127.0.0.1?

Basically, things have to match.  If jk.mshome.net = 127.0.0.1, then
jk.mshome.net should be your ServerName in httpd.conf.  My advice is to
reinstall Apache, and don't answer _anything_ when asked for hostname,
IP address, or anything else.  Let the installer figure that stuff out
on its own.  You can't just type hostnames willy-nilly, they have to
resolve correctly for services that are looking for them to work
correctly.

Since jk.mshome.net does not resolve publicly, either set up DNS on your
LAN or a local hosts file on your PC to resolve the name.  Otherwise,
don't use it anywhere, in any configuration, because it won't work.

Typing "ping localhost" should return an IP address of 127.0.0.1.

Typing "ping jk.mshome.net" should return nothing.

Apache should be set to defaults, across the board (localhost).

Subject: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache


Hello,
 
Sorry for the off topic manner of this email but I am having trouble
with my Apache server and was wondering if anyone on this list can help
me?
 
For about a year I had Apache 1.3.20 set-up on my Windows 98SE machine
running PHP 4.1.1 (and Coldfusion) on it with no problems. I would type
http://localhost/ <http://localhost/>  (or http://127.0.0.1/
<http://127.0.0.1/> )  in my browser and be able to see the directories
with all my files in them and edit them accordingly.
 
However, last week I started up Apache and opened a browser and typed
Localhost but nothing happened! All I would get would be a white blank
screen and if I typed in the address of a specific file within the
directory I would get a "Pager cannot be displayed" error.
 
I tested this in IE, Netscape and Mozilla (along with clearing the cache
in each browser) and all of them were the same.
 
I decided to uninstall Apache 1.3.20 and upgrade to 1.3.26 figuring that
if I started with a newer version of Apache the problem would be
eradicated and I  would have a more up-to-date version of the server.
 
This I have done, but still I cannot gain access to any of my files and
still it gives me a blank white screen if I type Localhost and a "Page
cannot be displayed" error message if I try and navigate to a specific
file within the directory.
 
I have scanned the Apache web site, trawled through the newsgroups,
studied my config file indepth, but cannot see where the problem lies.
 

Could someone please take a look at my config file and try to see why
this is happening because as far as I can tell everything is fine and I
haven't changed anything since the last time it worked OK?
 
Please disregard the fact that I haven't loaded the PHP modules yet (and
Coldfusion as well) as I will do this after I have managed to sort out
the Localhost problem.
 
Your help would be very much appreciated.
 
 
Regards,

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Turner, John]

That is Apache running.  The mixup between jk.mshome.net and localhost is
causing problems, and the space in your path name "shining%20path" probably
isn't helping, either.

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Turner, John]

OK, we're going around in circles.  There are a couple of issues here.

- if ServerName in httpd.conf is 127.0.0.1, then that is what you put in the
URL
- 127.0.0.1 = localhost, on every computer in the world, it's a standard
- do you have a hosts file or some other DNS setting that is resolving
jk.mshome.net to 127.0.0.1?

Basically, things have to match.  If jk.mshome.net = 127.0.0.1, then
jk.mshome.net should be your ServerName in httpd.conf.  My advice is to
reinstall Apache, and don't answer _anything_ when asked for hostname, IP
address, or anything else.  Let the installer figure that stuff out on its
own.  You can't just type hostnames willy-nilly, they have to resolve
correctly for services that are looking for them to work correctly.

Since jk.mshome.net does not resolve publicly, either set up DNS on your LAN
or a local hosts file on your PC to resolve the name.  Otherwise, don't use
it anywhere, in any configuration, because it won't work.

Typing "ping localhost" should return an IP address of 127.0.0.1.

Typing "ping jk.mshome.net" should return nothing.

Apache should be set to defaults, across the board (localhost).

Try telnetting to your apache server and open the access log and error 
log and watch the message there.

telnet 127.0.0.1 80

If telnet connects to your server send a a get request

get index.html

you may not see the echo of your charachters on the console. But the 
apache should output some stuff.

If you see thsi working, there is problem with your browser. Check your 
browser proxy settings.

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Geoffrey Khan]

I've checked the config file and the Server Name is 127.0.0.1, so I
don't know why it says jk.mshome.net when I try to ping Localhost.

I've attache my config file again.

OK, that's a problem.  I don't have your httpd.conf any more, but there
shouldn't be any hostnames in there whatsoever if all you are doing is
accessing localhost.  Instead of hostnames, it should say "localhost".

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Geoffrey Khan]

Raj,

I have pinged Localhost and 127.0.0.1 and have got responses.

However, I did notice that when I started to ping Localhost it began
with the message:

Pinging jk.mshome.net [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:

jk.mshome.net is/was what I called my site when first installing Apache
1.3.26 - it asks you what you want to call the server, etc when you
first install it. I have since changed it to shining-path.com in the
Apache config file.

Maybe this is a problem??

I have checked the Apache error log and there are no errors reported.

Can you change your httpd.conf to port 81, then restart Apache, and then try
http://localhost:81?

Yes, but ping uses ICMP, which is not an accurate indicator of the
availability of higher level traffic such as HTTP on port 80.

Re: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Raj Saini]

Try telnetting to your apache server and open the access log and error 
log and watch the message there.

telnet 127.0.0.1 80

If telnet connects to your server send a a get request

get index.html

you may not see the echo of your charachters on the console. But the 
apache should output some stuff.

If you see thsi working, there is problem with your browser. Check your 
browser proxy settings.

How do I check this? 

In my config file Apache is set to listen on Port 80.

Did you install a firewall?  Did you change your network settings in any

hardware?  Do you have some sort of virus filter running on port 80?
Are you sure Apache even starts?  Apache works out of the box in a

Subject: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache


Hello,

Sorry for the off topic manner of this email but I am having trouble
with my Apache server and was wondering if anyone on this list can help
me?

For about a year I had Apache 1.3.20 set-up on my Windows 98SE machine
running PHP 4.1.1 (and Coldfusion) on it with no problems. I would type
http://localhost/ (or http://127.0.0.1/)  in my browser and be able to
see the directories with all my files in them and edit them accordingly.

However, last week I started up Apache and opened a browser and typed
Localhost but nothing happened! All I would get would be a white blank
screen and if I typed in the address of a specific file within the
directory I would get a "Pager cannot be displayed" error.

I tested this in IE, Netscape and Mozilla (along with clearing the cache
in each browser) and all of them were the same.

I decided to uninstall Apache 1.3.20 and upgrade to 1.3.26 figuring that
if I started with a newer version of Apache the problem would be
eradicated and I  would have a more up-to-date version of the server.

This I have done, but still I cannot gain access to any of my files and
still it gives me a blank white screen if I type Localhost and a "Page
cannot be displayed" error message if I try and navigate to a specific
file within the directory.

I have scanned the Apache web site, trawled through the newsgroups,
studied my config file indepth, but cannot see where the problem lies.

Could someone please take a look at my config file and try to see why
this is happening because as far as I can tell everything is fine and I
haven't changed anything since the last time it worked OK?

Please disregard the fact that I haven't loaded the PHP modules yet (and
Coldfusion as well) as I will do this after I have managed to sort out
the Localhost problem.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Try there two things on DOS prompt of your PC.

ping localhost

ping 127.0.0.1

If you receive the ping response, it means you have your network 
installed properly. If you can not see the ping respone there must be 
some thing wrong with your network settings.

You can also have a look on the apache error logs. See if you apache is 
accepting the browser request.

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Geoffrey Khan]

Michael,

I pinged Localhost and got the message:

Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL64

I presume from this all is fine, as I have a reply?

HI,
See if you can ping localhost. Maybe something happened to your dns
settings. mk

Hello,
 
Sorry for the off topic manner of this email but I am having trouble
with my Apache server and was wondering if anyone on this list can help
me?
 
For about a year I had Apache 1.3.20 set-up on my Windows 98SE machine
running PHP 4.1.1 (and Coldfusion) on it with no problems. I would type
http://localhost/ <http://localhost/>  (or http://127.0.0.1/
<http://127.0.0.1/> )  in my browser and be able to see the directories
with all my files in them and edit them accordingly.
 
However, last week I started up Apache and opened a browser and typed
Localhost but nothing happened! All I would get would be a white blank
screen and if I typed in the address of a specific file within the
directory I would get a "Pager cannot be displayed" error.
 
I tested this in IE, Netscape and Mozilla (along with clearing the cache
in each browser) and all of them were the same.
 
I decided to uninstall Apache 1.3.20 and upgrade to 1.3.26 figuring that
if I started with a newer version of Apache the problem would be
eradicated and I  would have a more up-to-date version of the server.
 
This I have done, but still I cannot gain access to any of my files and
still it gives me a blank white screen if I type Localhost and a "Page
cannot be displayed" error message if I try and navigate to a specific
file within the directory.
 
I have scanned the Apache web site, trawled through the newsgroups,
studied my config file indepth, but cannot see where the problem lies.
 

Could someone please take a look at my config file and try to see why
this is happening because as far as I can tell everything is fine and I
haven't changed anything since the last time it worked OK?
 
Please disregard the fact that I haven't loaded the PHP modules yet (and
Coldfusion as well) as I will do this after I have managed to sort out
the Localhost problem.
 
Your help would be very much appreciated.

RE: (OT) Cannot see Localhost on Apache

[Geoffrey Khan]

John,

I have Zone Alarm installed on my PC and it worked fine with Apache for
a long time and I haven't changed any of the settings in this to prevent
Apache from working. I've tried shutting down Zone Alarm, starting
Apache and going to Localhost but still get a blank, white screen. 

I haven't changed any network settings in any shape or form or added any
kind of hardware.

I know Apache starts because I have a console window running saying
Apache 1.3.26 running whenever I start it up (and it shows up in the
Task Manager list when I do start it).

Geoff

Did you install a firewall?  Did you change your network settings in any
way, shape or form?  Add a cable modem, DSL router, or other network
hardware?  Do you have some sort of virus filter running on port 80?
Are you sure Apache even starts?  Apache works out of the box in a
default install...there could be any number of other reasons why it
doesn't serve pages, none of them related to the Apache config file.

[Chris Thompson]

Or, just a thought, have you checked whether it is listening on 8080 rather
than 80?
