i'm getting localhost/apanel blank page

 

using Firefox and wista no errors on starting nothing.

With the server running what is displayed when you type: http://localhost

blank page.

I find it strange the browser does not report an error of some kind!

I do not have access to Vista hence not sure what symptoms to expect.

 

There are several things you can look at:

 

1) If you installed another WAMP and then removed it check for:

LIBMYSQL.DLL in the C:/Windows or C:/Windows/System32/ and delete it.

 

2) Do you have IIS installed? If so disable it. Check out this link:

3) Is there something blocking port 80? Antivirus/Firewall?

 

It could be Vista’s Firewall DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET and temporally turn it off and try to run the servers:

 

Turn off Windows Firewall:

 

1. Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking Windows Firewall.

2. Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off. If prompted for administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. Click Off (not recommended), and click OK.

 

Try to start the server, no mater what happens turn your firewall on again.

 

Turn on Windows Firewall

 

1. Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking Windows Firewall.

2. Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off. If prompted for administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. Click On (recommended), and click OK.

 

If the server started obviously it’s the firewall blocking your server. It must be set to allow Apache to communicate through the firewall.

 

Try the following:

 

1. Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking Windows Firewall.

2. In the left menu, click Allow a program through Windows Firewall. If you are prompted for administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. Select the check box next to the program Apache.exe (may not display the .exe part), and click OK.

 

I have no idea if that’s correct perhaps someone could correct the firewall set-up.

Try the above and see if you get any joy.

All the best
