Apache will not start

zigvab75 · 02-29-2012, 04:01 PM

Okay guys, I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out with Apache.
I used this guys http://webdevcodex.com/tutorial-inst...#installapache tutorial and yesterday my apache was running cause it had the green indicator. After I did this tutorial, the indicator is now red. I tried to manaully start it but no no avail. It says "The requested operation has failed. I'm not sure what to do here. Any help will be appreciated.

What do the apache error logs indicate as the problem?

zigvab75 · 02-29-2012, 05:22 PM

I think I found the error log. I'm still new to Apache and don't know much about it.

Is that the problem maybe?

leslie.jones · 02-29-2012, 05:33 PM

Comment out line 120 of C:/webdev/apache/conf/httpd.conf and see ;-)

zigvab75 · 02-29-2012, 05:46 PM

Now when you say "comment out" do you mean to use the <If module> </Ifmodule>?
Sorry, I'm real noob at this.

zigvab75 · 02-29-2012, 06:13 PM

I took a guess and used # on line 120 and changed "server" to "webdev" because I made webdev my folder-name and not server. I went through each line in crimson editor to see if there were more "server" paths that should be changed to "webdev" and found none. I restarted apache and tried to start it again but my indicator is still red.

zigvab75 · 02-29-2012, 06:23 PM

Would it be a better idea to uninstall apache and reinstall it and instead of using C:\webdev use C:\server instead?

Fou-Lu · 02-29-2012, 07:54 PM

I wouldn't bother.
What's the path to the PHP apache hook? Is it under C:/server/php/php5apache2_2.dll or is it under C:\Webdev\*?

zigvab75 · 03-01-2012, 04:00 PM

Thank you for the response, Fou-lu. The path is C:\webdev\php\php5apache2_2.dll

Fou-Lu · 03-01-2012, 05:34 PM

Then you need to modify your configuration in httpd.conf. Its pointing at the wrong directory.

zigvab75 · 03-01-2012, 06:13 PM

Okay, is this what it should look like?
#LoadModule php5_module "C:/webdev/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

zigvab75 · 03-01-2012, 06:32 PM

Okay, I got it figured out.
It was like this #LoadModule php5_module "C:/webdev/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/webdev/php"

Then I changed it to #LoadModule php5_module "C:/webdev/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
#PHPIniDir "C:/webdev/php"
The red "#" was missing and I put it in there and now my indicator is green again.
Happy I am. =P

Thank you, Fou-lu, for the help.

zigvab75 · 03-01-2012, 06:36 PM

Unfortunately I have a new problem, though. When I tried to test the localhost I got a forbidden page. Is there something I need to do to fix that?

What do the logs say? check access & error logs.

Fou-Lu · 03-02-2012, 02:19 PM

Can you access a file directly by name? Sounds to me like you are going to the directory and Indexes are not available. You can add it in by finding the <Directory> block corresponding to the root, and add Options Indexes or Indexes to an existing Options config. Restart and try again.
