Apache Help?

[sharkey]

Im using xampp and i did the usual installation but while trying to connect to the localhost it keeps getting refused. I do have the apache batch file running so their should be no problems.

Hope someone can help
Cheers

Start up without running the batch file and see what happens. Are you sure PWS or IIS hasn't snuck in on ya?

[sharkey]

Nah none of them have snuck in. Tryed what you said but it still gives connection refused but my internet seems to be playing up abit also as when i click some links it keeps saying cant be found when you click again they work weird like.

Any ideas guys
Cheers

It just sounds like the server isn't running OR it isn't listening on port 80. Can you view a task list and see that Apache is really running?

Oh, also make sure you don't have a firewall interfering. A local firewall can keep your browser from connecting to the server even when the host is localhost.

Cheers again for the help. I dont have a firewall so that shouldnt be the problem but i could do with one. Any idea how to view task list i used to know how to do it if its the one im thinking apache isnt showing up just now anyway.

Thanks again
