Page cannot be displayed. Arrrgh!!

[rmfrase]

I have my own Apache Website. And It has been up and running for several months now. Infact, when my hard drive crashed, I easily was back online easily (Apache set up again.)

I'm at a friends and I cannot get the site up.

All indicatations is that Apache is Running fine. I've checked the IPConfig and verified I have the right address.
I've even connected to his system remotely using VNC.

I've printed the httpd.conf configuration file from my system and checked it against his ( only changing the folders names/IP Address where necessary) and checked it line by line.

Still, when I attempt to go to his site. Eithere there or remotely- Page cannot be displayed.

We both use XP Home, Service Pack 2, and have indicated FireWall Exemptions for Apache so that it can be contacted.

I even set up the website on my computer - with success! But can't on his. I even made a backup and put it to CD, then restored it on his system - no luck.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Just to clairify. I'm trying to build HIS website. The Apache green {>} icon and test configuration is fine. Just can't access his website. Although from his system, we can access the internet great!

rmfrase,

From your friend's computer, you can't get to

http://127.0.0.1

? Make sure that IIS isn't installed and running and that Apache's running and listening on port 80.

Check event viewer, there may be some entries that could shed some light on this problem.

IIS isn't running, port 80 is the listening port.
There are no errors in the event log.

You had indicated

http://127.0.0.1

?
I'm not understanding that portion. If I attempt to key in

http://his.ip.address

It also gives me "page cannot be displayed."

I have just uninstalled apache and installed the new 2.0.52 version. Still get the same problem.

rmfrase,

http://127.0.0.1

is equivalent to

http://localhost.

No joy attempting to connect to the web site on the localhost?

Is there a file in the DocumentRoot folder that matches the DirectoryIndex directive?

** Problem Solved **

I knew that I was doing everything right, but yet it would not run. So.....

I turned off every running program: Ie: Firewall, Norton Antivirus, etc.

Then it worked! So, from there I started to turn things back on, and I discovered that Norton Antivirus 2005 kept interpreting my attempts as a WORM Attack. Even though I indicated this port as an Exception and to ALLOW ALL for Apache. It was still Not Allowing Access.

So, I disabled that feature - for now. Site is up and running )


Thanks for your help!

rmfrase,

I'm glad to hear that you fixed it, but that's weird.

Are you sure it was Norton Antivirus, not Norton Internet Security?
