Len Jacobson Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I have been using Uniform Server successfully for about one year. It's loaded on my Windows Vista laptop. It works perfectly. Recently, I had the need to install it on my Windows XP Pro system. I can't get it to start up. In the 'Server_Start.bat' line that brings up 'redirect.html', I see the the blue Uniform Server logo page perfectly. But after one second, when it tries to refresh with 'http://localhost/apanel', I get the '404' error that the page wasn't found. By modifying the 'Server_Start.bat' file so that it stops just after the 'redirect.html' line, I see that if I enter the URL 'http://localhost/apanel' into the browser, it can't find it. And if I enter, instead, 'http://127.0.0.1/apanel', it can't find it, either. The "w:\" drive appears to be alive and well. But for whatever reason, 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1' are not found. Facts: (1) Windows XP Pro (2) Have Norton Internet Security on the machine. Turned off all its protection, but that didn't help. (3) I tried using the 'hosts' file from my Windows Vista system (where Uniform Server is working fine), but that didn't help. (4) I tried a few things I saw in this forum -- still doesn't recognize 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' Thank you, in advance, for any suggestions.

olajideolaolorun Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Is IIS installed on this machine? Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woger Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Len. did you work out a solution? I have the same problem on either Vista or XP. My Uniserver is on an external hard drive, and was working fine. Went to use it today, and I get the same error. I even reinstalled Zone Alarm to see if that was the problem. Look forward to any suggestions. Did the netstat thing - and can't see anything using port 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Jacobson Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Is IIS installed on this machine?I am SO sorry that I am not responding to this note until now. Please accept my apologies!! Before resorting to this forum, I did a Google search on the Internet and read that IIS must be installed. So I installed it. It didn't help. Then, when I turned to this forum, I saw entry after entry that said to NOT install IIS. So I removed it. The problem persists. Thank you for trying to help me.

Did the netstat thing - and can't see anything using port 80.A friend has suggested totally removing Norton Internet Security, assuming that even though I turned it off it could still be interfering with Uniform Server. To be honest, I'm not sure I want to do that. So I am still stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
