Hi...

boleh ke tanya pasal apache kat sini? kalo boleh saye nak tanya satu hal. saya ader install apache 1.3 kat PC. I want to build a website using PHP so i download the apache server. After download it, i transfer the download file to my other computer (no connection to internet). firstly i install it in myfirst PC (ader connection to internet) no problem. but when i try to install it to my second computer (no connection to internet) the apache cannot start. the following error

[crit] make sock : failed to get a socket for port 80.

i try to change a little bit that i know in the httpd file. but the result is still the same? what can i do.

for your information i use

windows98
apache 1.3.28-win32-x86-no_src.exe

please help me...

Hi,

Just a question. Does the destination pc have a network card? If not, you probably got this error because no network protocols are installed. If so, all you have to do is install networking service or something like that (under add/remove programs - windows tab), give it a reboot and reinstall apache.

If this doesn't work, could you please state your edition of windows 98 (SE or 2nd edition) and the protocols installed under Networks (in the control panel)

thanks....

i have check my pc. yes there is a network card installed.

i use windows98 second edition

protocol installed:

3com etherlink lll ISA (.....)
IBM turbo 16/4 token ring ISA adapter
IPX/SPX compatible protocil ->3com eatrhlink
netBEUI
TCP/IP 3com
TCP/IP IBM turbo

Ok... that looks alrite... try this:

1) Change the port to 8080 (somewhere near 'port' in your httpd.conf then restart the service) and access it at http://localhost:8080

2) Do you have PWS or IIS or any other webserver installed (or which was previously installed)? If so, that is probably causing the conflict of port 80. Either remove that webserver or run apache on port 8080 (or any other port)

3) If all that fails... there is something wrong with your TCP/IP layers. Just curious... you have two TCP/IP network protocols on your system: TCP/IP 3com, TCP/IP IBM turbo - is there a reason for that? If not, try deleting one of them (The one that is not in use - or you can guess ) and try restarting apache again.

If none of the above works... I have run out of ideas... It's wierd though that it runs on one machine and doesn't on the other... Anyway... good luck!

Try look at the Apache Error log, you might find some info there.

still cannot....

i try to change the port to 8080 but i get this error from the error log :

[Fri Aug 08 11:55:12 2003] [crit] make_sock: failed to get a socket for port 8080

i use TCP/IP IBM turbo the other one i dont know its already there, maybe my brother put it.

for your information, i've install the apache ver.2.0.46 in previous. then i remove it and install the old ver. apache 1.3.28.

so what should i do next....

in my other PC everythings fine....

The only thing I can think of is that Apache 2 was not cleanly removed. However, I doubt that this is what is causing the problem.

Try typing (in the command line):
netstat -an

Look for local address 0.0.0.0:80 (or similar to that). If it's there, post it here, if not I can't think of anything else you can do (except to format and reinstall everything again). Did Apache 2 previously work?

Anyone else have any suggestions? ksstudio?

ok...

Active connection

proto local add foreign add state
tcp 172.11..... 0.0.0.0:0 listening
tcp 172.11.... 0.0.0.0:0 listening
tcp 172.11.... 0.0.0.0:0 listening
udp 172.11... *:*
udp 172.11... *:*

what it means?

because the apache 2? i also think so. i follow the instruction to install apache 2, and it said i have to go to start>apache http server>control apache server>start apache in console. but theres no menu start apache in console, instade i got menu restart,start and stop. and it also doesnt work. i install and remove apache about 5 times hehehe... try to get it rite but still the same.... sometimes feel funny...

so whats next....

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, your 'netstat' doesn't show any signs of port 80 being listened by any other deamon/service. netstat is just a tool to see your active connections.

I can only think of only two other possiblilites:

1) First of all, wipe apache from your system. Delete the folder: C:\Program Files\Apache Group. Then goto your control panel and open up Networks. Copy down what's there (or you can refer to your previous post), after that, delete/uninstall everything there (protocols) and then reinstall what you just deleted (just the TCP/IP protocol should be enough though). WARNING, you may need a Win98 CD. Reinstall apache, REBOOT and test.

2) As your last resort, format your system and reinstall everything.

Besides these two, I can't think of anything else. So, if this doesn't work, I'm afraid, I can't help you here. But good luck anyway, at least you have one box with Apache working.

BTW, it seems that you've installed Apache correctly, because you can get the menus with Start, Stop, Restart. Start Apache in a console appears only if you installed Apache to start in a console and not automatically load when windows starts.

well... thanks 4 the advice...
maybe i should format my PC. btw it almost 2 years since i last format it hehehe (too busy). thanks for all ur help i really appreciateit. At least i have it in my other PC. thanks 4 all.

Hmm... Mozilla can, IE cannot...

Try:
http://localhost/
or
http://127.0.0.1/

If both don't work, make sure your working online: File>Work Online (If your already working online, it will be work offline)

If that's ok, goto: Tools>Internet Options
Under the 'Connections' tab, click lan settings, then uncheck proxy settings.

yup ur rite... it's working now...

thanks a lot...
