Simple install isn't... 1

[MartinCouture]

Where do I start looking ??

[Sat Apr 24 01:46:25 2004] [error] (OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Child 2080: Encountered too many errors accepting client connections. Possible causes: dynamic address renewal, or incompatible VPN or firewall software. Try using the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive.


It's Windows XP, Apache/2.0.49 (Win32), MacFee VirusScan & Firewall Off, no other server type software installed.

I am on a laptop that's connected to a PC sharing the internet connection (ICS) through XP Pro.

Some of httpd.conf:
Listen 8080
ServerName herc.no-ip.com:8080

have tried:
Listen herc.no-ip.com:8080
ServerName herc.no-ip.com:8080
or
Listen 8080
ServerName herc.no-ip.com
or
Listen 8080
ServerName 192.168.0.101:8080
or
Listen 192.168.0.101:8080
ServerName herc.no-ip.com01:8080

(I use the herc.no-ip.com because it works on my PC and is relly setup as a web redirect)

What do I do ?? It installed perfectly before on other laptops or PC. I don't know what is different this time...

Thanks
Marty

(Did you notice the time of the error! Must sleep!!)

Come on! noboby else ?

Nobody had a new computer and installed Apache 2.xx on it and didn't work off the bat ?

I need a httpd.conf guru..I'm sure there's one out there

Any issues with Apache and WindozeXP besides the notes on the apache web site ? This exact same setup was used before with no problems, except the firewall, which I have turned off.

The error log is filled with the above error and the hard drive never stops. CPU close to 100%. When I stop the server, everything back to normal.

I basically just want a test server on the laptop...nothing else.

Did you try Win32DisableAcceptEx ?

Did you try using BindAddress instead of ServerName?

Did you try localhost instead of the herc address?

Did you try 127.0.0.1 instead of the herc address?

The short, no, apache always works out of the box for me

most of the users here are on unix. Your problem sounds like something systemic to the XP OS and not apache, which is why you're not getting much response. You might have better luck on an XP forum, or you can head over to the Linux forums and there you will find many people willing you help you rid your computer of the XP scourge.

Thanks ;-)

Win32DisableAcceptEx WAS IT! Couldn't have found it without your help, thanks.

BindAddress:
"Many confusing directives have been simplified. The often confusing Port and BindAddress directives are gone; only the Listen directive is used for IP address binding; the ServerName directive specifies the server name and port number only for redirection and vhost recognition"

The rest makes sense and I forced it to my LAN IP with port 80 and everything works nice now with latest Apache, MySql and php.

I figured there wouldn't be many windows users, but I use linux rarely, just with the bootable cd:

Thnaks again.
