I have installed xampp on windows 8 and apache could not start and connect on port 80.
I changed the port to 1337 on the httpd.conf. Apache now starts on xampp and shows that it is running on port 1137 and 443 but when i type localhost on Google chrome i getan error message stating Google chrome could not connect to localhost.
can somebody help me please.
since you changed the port from standardport 80 you have to type localhost:1137
When you type
http://localhost
on your browser, it connects to port 80 by default. and
https://localhost
will connect to port 443 by default. Since you've changed the port numbers, you have to use
localhost:1137
or
https://localhost
in your browser.

I set apache server to run on 8080 and 4433 ports (I changed all the references on 80 port in configuration files as well as all references on 443 port so apache can start). And in XAMPP application it says that apache server is normally running. MySQL server is running as well. There is a solid connection with internet so connection isn't a problem. But when I tried to access 127.0.0.1 this message appeared on display:
This site can’t be reached
127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
How to solve this issue?
Apache won't re-read it's config file automatically after you change it so make sure you've restarted the service.
Also enter the url as http://127.0.0.1:8080 so the browser knows to connect on port 8080 rather than 80.
Don't know what the perfect title for this, but here it is.
I'm running a server with Windows Server 2008 R2.
On this server I have three webapps and it already run well
App1 using Apache2 on port 80
App2 using IIS on port 81
App3 using Xampp Apache on port 83
I already have a domain for each port
1. domain1.com for port 80
2. domain2.com for port 81
3. domain3.com for port 83
all domain has been pointing to server, and it is work fine when I use (:port) behind the domain, eg. domain1:83 is already open Xampp Apache on port 83.
however, what I need is when I type domain1.com it should open port 80, domain2.com it should open port 81, and domain3.com should open port 83.
Simple say, I don't need to add :81 or :83 if I want to open those sites.
Main apache server used are Apache2, and I need configuration to automatically when I type domain2.com it goes to port 81 (localhost:81), and so if I type domain3.com it goes to port 83 (localhost:83)
Meaning is, that Apache2 only handle App1 on port 80, when I want to access App2 using domain2.com then it refer to localhost:81 then the process will be handled by IIS, and so for App3 using domain3.com it refer to localhost:83 then Xampp will handle the process.
Every Apps has different config so I cannot put it to single port 80 then difference it by DocumentRoot since other Apps are not processed by Apache2.
Regards,
Set up a name-based virtual host support on Apache. It is handling port 80, so it will handle all requests to port 80, no matter what port number is used.
You then have two options.
Redirect
Proxy
You can redirect the traffic to the other port (which will show the port number in the address bar of the browser, and cause search engines to index URLs with that port number in them)
Redirect / http://domain2.com:81/
Or you can proxy the traffic through Apache (which will relay everything through Apache, which could have performance implications):
ProxyPass "/" "http://domain2.com:81/"
netstat -plnt shows that my port 8080 is listening at 0.0.0.0 but I can't access it with external IP where as localhost:8080 works just fine
If it shows this shouldn't I be able to access this using the servers IP using http://167.99.144.42:8080/ or do I need to forward the port for some reason.
I am using Apache2 on Ubuntu and Nodejs.
167.99.144.42 on port 8080 and 22 is working fine from the public Internet
There is probably a problem with access from your browser such as a local proxy
I have reinstalled my Xampp Application, Apache is running on port 443 and 8080, MySQL is running on 3306.
If I go to Localhost, it still gives me a 404 Error while it should give me a message like "You have succesfully installed Xampp!"
What can be the problem?
If you omit the port, http uses port 80 by default and port 443 for https.
So try to call
http://localhost:8080
or
https://localhost
If this does not help you should check the accesslog of your webserver.
Ok so I configured my apache installation on Windows 7 such that it listens on port 8080 by changing the respective entry in httpd.config.
I was too stupid to realize that now I have to access localhost with :8080 at the end.
Question: is there a way to have my box automagically resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1:8080 ? I don't like haviog to type :8080, and NO I CANNOT change the port to 80, I need that one for firewall.
Thanks
no. hostnames have nothing to do with ports. You'll have to specify the port yourself, or set up a proxy on the usual port 80 that will do the 8080 requests on your behalf. ... or bite the bullet and use port 80 directly and move your firewall elsewhere.
