What do the error logs (in the Program Files/Apache... /logs folder) say?
BTW, don't worry! You are going to get Apache to work. Little glitches
like this always get resolved! :)

Greetings all
Newbie alert! I am new to this list and new to apache, so please
forgive me if my understandings of the protocols aren't 100% yet
I also did not find a dedicated list for win32 so I have assumed its
the same list.
please correct me if I am wrong
I have a problem that I seriously cannot pinpoint.
I do a bit of development on my local box and use apache (of course)
as my web server
I have installed apache quite a few times before and know how to
change the document root to another localtion ( ie D:\wed ) etc
Now I recently reinstalled windows from scratch and am now in the
process of reinstalling apache. Trying to.
I install it, open a web broswer, type localhost and i get the default
page
i edit the httpd.conf file and change the document root from
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"
to
DocumentRoot "D:/web"
Which is where my web root sits
I also edit
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">
to
<Directory "D:/web">
and save the config and restart the server
The minute I restart the server and hit localhost in my browser , it
hangs and searches for localhost and never finds it
I have tried changing the config back to its original state to test it
again, restarting the server service all the time and still no joy.
I use the apache monitor to restart the service
NO joy
its no proxy settings or anything of the sort as I do not have any proxy
however when I go into windows services and restart the service from
there and not the apache services monitor it seems to work, however I
am still testing this
I have reinstalled apache over and over again removed it, deleted all
remaining files, downloaded a new copy of the win32 installer
installed again and still the same problem
I am not sure if its some funky setting on this box or if the apache
monitor is wonky or if I am just forced to suffer for my sins now and
cruise on through the pearly gates at a later stage in my life.
Any idea?
please?
