Apache localhost problem

[raffie77]

Hello,

I'm totaly new here with apache.
the problem is this:
I used to have a dial up networking nad apache and MySQL installed and it worked fine.
recently I've installed ADSL and the big problem is that when I type in my internet browser: [localhost...] or [127.0.0.1...] I have to wait a verry long time
it says page can not be found.
when I enable IIS for testing purpose and type the same adres, it works just fine, but I dont wana use IIS I wana use Apache.

anny idea's here?

regards,

Ralph

Hi raffie77. Welcome to WebmasterWorld

Have you checked the Apache log files? It sounds like the server is timing out, but its hard to diagnose why without a little more light.

yes I reinstalled the Apache server (WAMP server)
but the access.log and the error.loag are empty
and in the httpd.pid I see a line that says:
1568

Well, to be honest I probably can't offer much else. It sounds like your server has not been started, just because there are no log entries.

I created a couple of batch files to start and stop my Apache server. Here's what the Start.bat looks like.

@echo off
D:\Apache\Apache\Apache.exe -k start

(adjust as needed for your environment)
