My WAMP server is installed in a virtual machine, and I have developed a simple PHP file and an android file. The android file should be correct and able to send out the HTML request, however the server side PHP program never respond to the request. Therefore I made a simple site in the server and tried to browse it in another desktop, it was not successful. So this seems caused by the configuration of the WAMP server, I myself is only a beginner, that why I choose WAMP server which can allow me to do nearly nothing about the configuration. I have no idea how to fix the problem now, I have already tried to change all the allowance in the httpd.conf file, however it still does not work.

First of all, my thanks to this community for helping me solve many, many issues over the years. In fact, I have never needed to post a new question - I was always able to find an answer (eventually).
Not so this time. I am a moderately experienced hobby developer, self-hosting a small set of sites on my Mac Mini (Apache 2.4, PHP 8.0, MySQL 5.6). I built a reasonably complex site (www.fundas.us/manhattanzen) and everything was working perfectly.
I then decided to add SSL encryption to my server (certificate purchased from ssl.com) and installed it with no issues. Checking the SSL configuration via "SSL Checker" and Whynopadlock.com confirms that the certificate is properly installed. The only "warning" I get is that I only have TLSv1 enabled on the server. This despite the fact that my httpd-ssl.conf file says "SSLProtocol -all SSLv3". I mention this in case it is the cause of my troubles.
The issue I am experiencing is that the SSL encrypted site works perfectly using Firefox and Chrome on the Mac Mini (Mojave), but fails using Safari on the same Mac and fails using any of the browsers on my iPad or iPhone. Safari's web console shows "Failed to load resource: The network connection was lost." and the server log shows "child pid XXXXX exit signal Segmentation fault (11)".
The resources that fail to load are some (but not all) of the css and js resources that reside on the local (Mac Mini) server. All other resources (residing on external servers) load fine.
I have tried a number of suggestions found on Stack Overflow, including
changing file permissions to 777 on the offending resources (js, css files)
setting KeepAlive to Off in httpd-default.conf
minifying offending resource files
increasing SSLSessionCache in httpd-ssl.conf
None of it has made any difference. I should also point out that I have configured .htaccess in the root folder of my site to force all incoming connections to https://
This seems like the last hurdle to make this website fully encrypted and fully functional and I am thoroughly stuck. I will appreciate any pointers you have for me. Many thanks.
Was able to figure this out and wanted to answer my own question, in case it helps anybody else.
First, the strange test results from SSL validation sites that my server was not TLSv1.2 ready. I fixed this by changing the SSLProtocol line in httpd-ssl.conf to explicitly only permit TLSv1.2 ("SSLProtocol all -SSLv3" --> "SSLProtocol TLSv1.2")
Second, the odd behavior of Safari (on both desktop and mobile) occasionally hanging unable to load a page (while other browsers had no issues). I found the solution to this at https://serverfault.com/questions/937253/https-doesnt-work-with-safari. Making the recommended change to httpd-ssl.conf and adding the line "Header unset Upgrade" solved the Safari issue.
I was working on a website on my local computer (mac OS High Sierra) and had put some redirects in the websites .htaccess file (in order to get images from the remote server instead of downloading them). After this it seemed that I could no longer access the website from my Chrome browser. Chrome would answer to any URL leading to the remote server with ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
I tried other browsers on my computer such as Firefox, Chrome Canary, Chromium and Opera. None of them could provide a connection.
Next I checked with a different internet access via TOR-Browser on the same computer whether I could access the website, and it worked.
Next I checked via Terminal whether I could connect to the remote server with ping, nslookup and traceroute. All connecting to the server as expected.
I googled up possible solutions to this problem but could not find one so far. I had read that resetting the DNS cache could help and tried sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder but it did not.
I did not edit the /etc/hosts file; a restart of the computer did not help; a reset of the .htaccess to the previous state did not help; resetting the caches in the browsers did not help.
How can I access the remote website from my browsers normally again?
EDIT1: Related question: Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED for only selective images from instagram API
EDIT2: After about one day I was able to access the remote website again with no further incidents of ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED even after putting the redirects into the .htaccess file. So it seems to me of being some sort of caching on my computer which prevents the browsers from accessing the remote website. However I have no clue what caused the error message in the first place and what kind of cache it might be.
Shortly after EDIT2 when I was able to access the remote website again, the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED appeared again - this time I tested another device with the same internet connection and I had encountered the connection error too. Now I believe it has something to do with the router and/or it's firewall - not the ISP since I could connect to the remote website with shell commands (named above). The image requests to the remote website seem to cause the router to block further access from browsers, probably as a security measure similar to the situation in this article https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/can-t-access-a-specific-website-going-thru-my-router-274637/
In the standard setup for MAMP PRO, version 4.0.3 in this case, using the htdocs folder for my sites I am getting the "red arrow" indicating a config issue. The highlight message is: user running apache cannot access this directory. Everything works fine but I'd like to get rid of this warning. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions.
I'm completely new to this, so please forgive me.
What I have right now is a Play application that, when I run play run on my personal Mac the site launches on localhost:9000 and everything works fine.
I also have a server running CentOS that tells me to "add content to the directory /var/www/html/" when I navigate to it's IP, but I don't understand how I can do that with a Play application? It's not like I have a bunch of HTML files I can just put there?
So my question is, what steps do I need to take to make it so if I go to the IP of my server, it takes me to the website I made and that is currently stored on my Mac?
You need to configure Apache as a "proxy" to your Play application (that's why you won't need to put anything into /var/www/html/).
Your application code can be uploaded anywhere you want on the server. It will need to be started on the server (with play start for example) and Apache will "forward" requests to the running Play application.
You can look at the Play documentation in the "Deploy your application" section :
"Deploying your application" (general recommandations) : https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/Production
"Set-up a front-end HTTP server" (explain how to deploy Play behind Apache or Nginx) : https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/HTTPServer
I am using Apache Tomcat 6.0.18, I am running on Windows XP
I have a web application which I place it's war file under webapps folder. The web application runs fine, its just when I run the shutdown.bat the application still runs (as in I refresh the page and it doesn't come up not found).
I check the localhost:/8080 and webpage cannot be found comes up
but when I run localhost:/8080/myapp my application comes up.
I have tried this in both IE and Firefox
Thank you for any help.
I had this similar problem, This can only happen if Apache Tomcat is not configured properly. Best way is to check build path and look for exact directory of Apache.
Example
i.e C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-tomcat-7.0.27
Also look for windows service for start, restart or stop
Run - services.msc
You may want to check this link
i.e
Verify that tomcat is actually down (simplest way is via task manager)
The issue sounds like a caching issue. Try deleting your cache.
