Knives Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hey, I'm new here and have been trying to use uniform server on my computer but when I start apache, I get the uniform server page then it redirects and firefox says the that localhost/apanel has no data. I have skype on this computer and everytime I run it, i make sure skype is off etc. It assigns a harddrive letter but don't go let me do anything else. i'm running Vista home Premium with ESET business edition (anti virus/firewall) Please help me - Thanks!

Ric Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I was just wondering if this post would help: http://forum.uniformserver.com/index.php?showtopic=1558 Implement the change it may resolve the issue. If it does not check Apache’s error.log file located in folder:\Uniform Server\udrive\usr\local\apache2\logs It may shed some light on the problem.

Knives Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hey Ric, I done what you said but firefox still just says 'The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection.

Ric Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Your log file confirms Apache is running and appears to have no problems. This line points to the real problem:'The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.' I have never experienced this type of problem however it is not uncommon.I performed a quick search but could not find a definitive solution. These links may be of use: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website http://www.techsupportforum.com/alternativ...nterrupted.html Check you get the same issue using IE if you do the chances are it’s not a browser problem. The problem may be either a firewall or anti-virus program issue. A quick check is to temporally disable them (make sure your PC is not connected to the Internet). Trouble is these programs may not be fully disabled hence cannot be fully ruled out unless they are completely removed. Its difficult to be specific the nature of the problem means it’s a process of elimination until you find the route cause.

Knives Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Firefox - Doesn't loadChrome - doesn't loadIE - doesn't load. I've tried it without my firewall on and it still doesn't work. Could it work if I changed my port number? Holy crap... If I load it from http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ (the localhost IP) it works.. Whats stopping it from being localhost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think the answer is in this line:Holy crap... If I load it from http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ (the localhost IP) it works..You need to add a line in your hosts file: 1) Browse to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories2) Right click "Notepad" and select "Run as administrator"3) Click "Continue" on the UAC prompt4) Click File -> Open5) Browse to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc"6) Change the file filter drop down box from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)"7) Select "hosts" and click "Open"8) Add the following lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost:809) Close Notepad, when prompted click save. Note: The first line is required while the second line prevents an error message being displayed in the Vhost section of Apanel. To access Apanel type the following into your browser:http://localhost/apanel or http://localhost/a All the bestRic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knives Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Thanks for all the help so far Ric. I followed your guide and it didn't work, if I work from http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ will it effect anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Well that really is a pain one consolation you know the server works and you can access Apanel using: http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ In addition http://127.0.01/ allows you to access your web site in folder www Note: Both http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ and http://127.0.01/ are valid IP addresses hence will not effect anything you can use these. The whole point of using the “hosts” file is to resolve a name to an IP address e.g localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 If you had placed this in your “hosts” file 127.0.0.1 www.fred.comTyping www.fred.com into your browser will resolve to 127.0.0.1 Now http://localhost/apanel does not work while http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ does (this second address you have effectively manually resolved hence the “hosts” file is not used). This suggests there is other entries in the host file that may be in conflict or the changes you made were not written to the “hosts” file. There may be entries relating to IPv6 they look similar to this: :. localhost or :. 127.0.0.1 If you have these lines comment them out by adding a # (hash) at the beginning of each line for example: # :. localhost or# :. 127.0.0.1 The "hosts" file should contain only these lines for IP 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 localhost:80 If that fails to resolve the problem there is one more thing to try:Since you are running ESET (anti virus/firewall) this may be the problem area! 1) From ESET open Control Centre2) Go to the Setup tab and click “Enter entire advanced setup tree”3) Click “Web access protection”4) Uncheck the checkbox labelled “Enable web access protection” Check their Web site and forum to see if this is a known issue. I have assumed you are not running more than one anti-virus and firewall because running two in parallel can cause conflicts. Hope the above provides some pointers.

Knives Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Oh wow, as soon as I commented out the other lines it worked fine. - Thank you so much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Thanks for the feedback; I have updated the Wiki quick-guide to reflect this issue. Although the “hosts” file is little used by the average user these days it still remains extremely powerful. All browsers check this file first before making an external request to resolve a name to an IP address. Using the “hosts” file you can point any name to any IP address, hence ideal for a small Intranet. All the bestRic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
