Apache Help

You don't by chance has more than one NIC in your computer? It sounds to me like apache isn't bound to the NIC card.

---

I'm running Win XP pro and in my network connections i've two connections under LAN or HIGH-SPEED Internet.
One says it's
Local Area Connection
Enabled
NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Ada...

I beleive this is my internet seeing that if i disable it I lose my connection there is also another one here.

1394 Connection
Enabled
1349 Net Adapter

I have no idea what this one is. It doesn't do anything when i try to disable it.
Kinda confused about this i don't remeber setting it up at all of course it has been a long time.

EDIT: About two minutes after i tried it the 1394 Connection suddenly disabled.

Hi

I continue with zENGER's suggestions and will try to go a bit more
into detail. But try to get under control that pinging problem
(you cannot ping the server from the client). I have the feeling
that this is based on the same "problem" as the apache server, which
does not work, but maybe simpler to analyse.


On a WinXP box, as mentioned, the most useful command in that context
(determine port and listening program) you can use
(on the server, in a command shell) is

> netstat -ano

This gives you information about local ports and their status (listening, established, ...).
Eg.

TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1952

This means, that the PID 1952 (an identification number of the program. This can be
different on your machine of course) is listening on port 80 locally, for all incoming
connections.

Using

> tasklist /SVC

you get the PIDs versus program names. At PID 1952, this should be your apache.exe
with service Apache2.

Finally, it would be interesting to see the routing table using

> netstat -r
or
> route PRINT

We will, hopefully, see that the "usual" network traffic is sent to the
IP of your NIC (Local Area Connection), where the cable actually is plugged in.
Since on the server itself, localhost and the local test with (eg) 192.168.1.10
did work, I am very positiv that the routing table is fine. However, maybe I didn't
get you right, so I ask:

On your server machine itself, (with IP 192.168.1.10 or 192.168.1.50, depending on your
choice) did typing "http://192.168.1.10" or "http://192.168.1.50" in a browser show
you the apache test page?




Ending, ... :)
- (IEEE) 1394 is essentially the firewire support[1]
- NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter.
I don't know that one, but using "route PRINT" it will identify itself with
an interface number 0x10004 (depending on your hardware configuration) and
will correspond to some miniport. It hopefully will be routed to at 255.255.255.255.


Good luck.

Cheers

First off you'll have to excuse me guys i'm trying to keep up and i truly thank you for all your help.

zENGER:
I did not find anything on port 80 using "netstat -a"
However

Sec_Ware
netstat -ano i found TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 80 PID=1528
ok then
tasklist /svc PID 1528 Image name is Apache.exe and Service is Apache2
So far so good
netstat -r

EDIT: By request this is my results from the command.
Route Table
===============================================================
Interface List
0x1......................................MS TCP Loopback interface
0x2...00 50 8e 4d 78 3d .....NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport
===============================================================
===============================================================
Active Route:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway INterface Metric
192..168.1.10 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10 20


Pretty sure this is right here now. I went into my TCP/IP settings and made myself a static IP instead of automatic.
THis brings me to your next point.

Before when i typed in my 192 address nothing happened it timed out. BUt no after setting up the Static IP i am able to do this. So no problems there.

Unfortunatly when i type in my IP the web see that i got from IPCHICKEN.com it still times out.
At least this is a step forward this time. YEAH!

Cheers!


EDIT: Wait a second! desregaurd all of that. I forgot to turn off my ZOnealarm firewall when i stared up this time.
After it was off i tried it and it work!
THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU!

Remind me to get you a drink to go cheers with Sec_Ware and you too zENGER!



Edit: So when i set out on this quest my goal was to get all the way through h3r3tic's tutorial on setting up phpbb. Now with the server problem solved on i'm to more and greater problems i beleave. I think the newer version of the software he mentions are messing some things up.
I beleave i've gotten myslef to set 4 in the tut h3r4tic's tut
unfortunatly it won't bring up the install page for phpbb.
I've only worked on this for a little bit but i need to get some nest seeing that i'm now going on 21 hours being awake.

I'm not sure if anyone saw the last edit i made on my last post but i've made a little more progress now except there seems to be a hoel in the tut.

go back to the php install page. (by the way if you were never able to see this page php isn't working) and put everything back the same as before except for the database name. Change that to board. now click install. if this didn't work i don't know what to say.

---

I'm following along line by line and it didn't work so i'm wondering if anyone else knows what to say?



Let me back up a little bit i had to mess with a little to get a couple of lines beofre this to work.

Now click install. If this didn't work we are going to have to make a database. at the command prompt cd into the c:\mysql\bin directory and type mysql -u root -p

---

I could not find that dir but after a little search i found mysql in my program files folder.
Unfotunatly there was no bin. The only folder there was was MySQL Server 4.1 and that is where i found my bin folder.

So i just went to "c:\program files\MySQL Server 4.1\bin then and used the mysql -u root -p command. This worked fine and i went throught the next part.

when it prompts you for a password type your password chosen earlier.now type create database board; then hit enter and type use board;

---

That brings me to the point i discribed at the beginning of the post.
First i tried just install again and got this.
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Then i tried what h3r3tic said and changed the database name to board and i got the same error message.

I'm so close but yet so far!


EDIT: FOLLOW UP! I got it all to work although it does seem a little sluggish. SOmetimes pages don't come up on the forum and i have to refresh a half dozon times.

Anyway i'm wondering what file to edit to get rid of that APche your server works screen.
