cru Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 here's my problem, I just installed uniform server from the steps shown in this site.. http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,37364.0.html when i start the server, i see its connecting to localhost plus the uniform server logo, but keeps waiting for local host and could not open the uniform server page..... >> im using windows xp pro. when i did the solutions from this site http://center.uniformserver.com/new_users/problems_1.htmlas stated: 1. Start the Command Prompt and then type netstat -ano | find "LISTENING" | find ":80"1. You'll see a bunch of stuff like "TCP x.x.x.x:80 x.x.x.x:0 LISTENING number", what we're interested in here is number, if there are more than one (which normally shouldn't happen), repeat the steps below for each one 2. Type tasklist /SVC /FI "PID number", replace number with the one you saw after executing the first command.1. You'll see 3 lines of stuff, but we're only interested in the last line, which should be something like program number service, if program is Skype.exe, you can change the port it listens on; if <service> is not N/A then proceed to the next step 3. Type net stop service, replace service with the one displayed after executing the command above (it shouldn't have any spaces).1. You should see something like "The xxxx service was stopped successfully", this means that you've got rid of the service (probably IIS) that was using port 80 (and thus making you unable to access Uniform Server); BUT IN STEP 2, when i typed tasklist /SVC /FI "PID 3276" RETURNS THIS MESSAGE - The search filter cannot be recognized >>>> 3276 being the numbr shown when i did step1. other details>>>im not using nor did i install skype>>>IIS is not installed in my OS >>> i disabled my windows firewall, but avg 7.5.448 firewall is still there>>> i tried disabling avg firewall, but returns an error -- "could not initialize avg antivirus kernel interface" im confused............... pls help me... thanks in advance!!!

olajideolaolorun Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 About those steps, never really tried them, thats all Ric's job But try it without the quotes or the PID in front.. and see what happens... But to get back to your problem, you don't have Skype Installed, nor IIS, nor have you ever installed Apache or PHP or MySQL via their distro before right?

But to get back to your problem, you don't have Skype Installed, nor IIS, nor have you ever installed Apache or PHP or MySQL via their distro before right? 1. i made so many attempts try without the quotes, without PID, even using "|" instead of "/" but still the same error. 2. a week ago i installed xampp, i can't open xampp start page till i found uniform server. i uninstalled xampp then installed US. 3. also, i read one of your replies on the other threads re LIBMYSQL.DLL --- i tried searching thru windows explorer and its not there. I guess i have uninstalled xampp properly b4 installing US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 hmm.. seems as though XAMPP might have left something behind. I need you to search your computer for this files: PHP.INI & LIBMYSQL.DLL If you find them anywhere on your PC other than the Uniform Server folder, delete it! And then try again...

olajideolaolorun Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Does it stay when you start the server? Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cru Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Does it stay when you start the server? yes it stays, when i start thru SERVER_START MSDOS BATCH FILE but firefox message says Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at locahost * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. but when i start thru the vbsscript script file, i see the uniform server logo at the center of my browser page, it keeps waiting for localhost continuously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 K, so when you start the server W:/ drive is created and it stays... But you cannot connect to the server. So when you go to http://localhost you get an error? How about http://localhost/apanel/?

olajideolaolorun Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 So everything works perfect now after uninstalling your Anti-Virus? Which one where you using.... and again, it miht not even need all that, there should have been a place in the settings or options that will allow you to unblock port 80... I guess it was locking the port.... I use Avast Free... Perfection Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
