Hi All,

 

I have been using Uniserver at college and it works most of the time.

 

I have no such luck at home.

 

I ran the .exe file for version 5.3 and 5.4 and get the same result - localhost not found after I try and start Uniserver(APche MySQL) or try to goto to phpMyAdmin page or the Admin Panel etc. The redirect.html page 'purple screen' appears and then when the redirect happens i get a 'page not found'

 

I have AVG installed and stopped that as I thought it might be messing with things but no change happened.

 

I notice when I go to the Server Status page that there is an IP address that appears when I run at home and not one when I run from college.

 

Any assistance appreciated.

 

Regards,

Mike

“I notice when I go to the Server Status page that there is an IP address that appears when I run at home and not one when I run from college.”

 

Your college local area network is not accessible from the Internet hence no IP displayed. However your home network is hence an IP address displayed. If your servers are online any user on the Internet can access your server using that IP address.

 

“The redirect.html page 'purple screen' appears and then when the redirect happens i get a 'page not found' “

 

I assume after running “Server Status page” it displays servers are running?

 

With servers running try typing http://127.0.0.1/ or http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ into your browser. Are the appropriate pages displayed?

 

If pages are displayed check the following file:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

 

This should contain the following line if not add it:

127.0.0.1 localhost

 

If you have a line similar to this comment it out

::1 localhost

for example add hash as shown

# ::1 localhost

 

If it still fails check Apache’s log file:

UniServer\usr\local\apache2\logs\error.log

 

All the best

Ric :rolleyes:

I'm having the exact same issues. I tried this fix, but it still didn't work. I'm on Windows 7 but I'm guessing it should work the same as Vista.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

THANKS!

This is great for getting Apache going right, but watch out for "IPv6 localhost" and MySQL. On Windows 7, you may need to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost when setting up the MySQL connection for apps. While there are other ways to get it working right, this should cover most cases. It's due to MS's change for IPv6 and localhost.
