Apache Stops Working After Installing Google Desktop Search

[phpmaven]

I just installed Google's Desktop Search and now I can't access my local Apache server. GDS runs on port 4664 on localhost, but if I try to go to port 80 on localhost, it just hangs.

I was hoping that someone else had resolved this issue already. I'm assuming that I just need to tweak a setting in httpd.conf

Thank you.

Hmm, both on localhost...

Try this: [support.microsoft.com...]

Thanks Jim,

Actually that info gave me an idea. I added a loopback adapter and it assigned itself a completely different IP. I changed my Apache config to use this new IP and got it working (after I uninstalled Desktop Search of course). As soon as I reinstalled Desktop Search, Apache stopped working.

I guess the web server that Google uses to serve up the local search results is intercepting every request on port 80, or maybe every http request. It's now listening on a completely different IP than Apache, so I',m stumped.

I've posted in the Google Desktop Search forum, so hopefully somebody will have a fix. It's a shame because GDS is pretty slick.

Thank you for your help
