I'm working on a web application in JSP and my web container is Apache Tomcat 7.0.2 (Its portable cross-platform version). As I've made extensive use of HTML5-CSS3 and my target browser is Google Chrome, I'm able to run the the Apache server only in Opera web browser, neither of the remaining installed browser run it.
Here's the steps I have followed to start the server in my Windows 7 machine.
-Installed the Apache Tomcat service in Windows from apache-tomcat-7.0.2/bin/service.bat
-Started the service with tomcat7w.exe
-As my default port is 8080, I open 'http://localhost:8080/' in various web browsers, and I could see Apache Server Homepage with same address only in Opera Web Browser (11.01), neither of other browsers installed can open it (Chrome 9, Firefox 4 Beta 11 or IE8) and show standard page not found message.
-I also tried other port numbers, but none of them worked.
What can I do to make Apache run in every browser installed in my computer?
I have my computer dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10, and in Ubuntu, every web browser installed can run Apache once I start it, but same is not working in Windows.
Update:
I have also tried apache's windows-only installer of version 7.0.8 and changed the port number during installation, but still I can't run it on any other browser expect for Opera...
Any help will be appreciated............
Thanks.
Check your hosts file under C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to make sure that the entry for
127.0.0.1 localhost
is intact. Also see that if you are behind a proxy server, the settings allow for localhost to be bypassed.
Congo!! finally got it done, instead of localhost, it works with 127.0.0.1 (which is localhost anyway)
So those who are facing similar issues, as suggested by adarshr, go through your hosts file to see if localhost is correctly addressed to 127.0.0.1, or if you don't want to edit that file, you can still get it done by simply using http://127.0.0.1:8080/ instead of http://localhost:8080/. Please be sure about port number you are using, in my case it was 8080, it might vary depending on how you've configured.

The Issue: I have disabled SELinux entirely. We have Apache running on a CentOS 8 VM. We have a simple information page running on the server. It displays great when we are on that VM in Gnome using either 127.0.0.1, locahost, or it's actual IP address. However, we cannot view this page from the same subnet or any subnet. The message we get in our browsers when off that server is "server took too long to respond". I am thinking there is some small little thing we must be missing in the Apache config. We even have Webmin on there to make the administration easier. I have never had this problem with CentOS 5/6/7 previously. I know that CentOS 8 is the last release as RHEL has bought it, and they want to see CentOS killed off.
Actions Taken:
Disabled SE Linux entirely to eliminate it being a firewall issue.
Installed Webmin to have access to the Apache administration module making looking for any issue easier.
Tested from the server itself in Gnome which the page comes up.
Tested from other computers on the same subnet, off the same switch.
Tested from other subnet computers.
I recently upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10 (9). I need to use Apache server for web development. But for some reason I can't access it via web browser.
First I tried to look in the firewall and antivirus settings. It looks fine. I've tried reinstall xampp then I tried Wamp. Nothing working. I'tried 3 web browsers Edge, Opera, Chrome. Then I tried to find if some application is blocking port 80. So I disabled Skype, IIS. Then I tried different ports 8080,9080,123. Still can't access it via browser, but ping works.
Then I disable preference of Ipv6 and I prefer IPV4 now. I've changed HOSTS file so only 127.0.0.1 localhost is uncommented.
Only problem occurs when I try run wamp my internet access became unavailible and a have to restart computer to access internet again.
Has anyone here have same problem, because according to everything I ve done it seems apache server and network settings is correct.
Maybe problem is somewhere else?
Thank you for your help.
Solved with clean Windows 10 installation.
I have a windows 8 x64.
I installed apache 2.4 x64 and the installation was smooth and the service is up and running and also the icon is also green.
the problem is that it stops working in the middle of nowhere although the icon is still showing up green and the status saying online.
I have to refresh the localhost page over and over again to get it working again.
I added some line in c:\windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
I also modified the C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\httpd.conf file.
here is the line which I added.
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
I even removed my Skype since I heard that it conflicts with apache
when I test my http 80 port using the apache tool. sometimes it get me no result. it only shows me
Your port 80 is actually used by :
it doesn't give me the rest of the information but sometimes it shows me that my apache 2.4 is running
I removed IIS server which comes together with windows 8.
I also tried installing apache again but the problem is still there.
Any help from you guys would be much more appreciated.
Thanks.
I am new to Web Development but I have experience in Java, C/C++,Unix Scripting and basic SQL. I have apache-tomcat server because I downloaded Java EE but recently I wanted to start added PHP to my html and I have to download a server like wampp or xampp to run php files. But I downloaded xampp and when I tried to reach my localhost my browser froze up, I tried it multiple times but no luck reaching my local server. Then I decided to try it on wamp and the same thing happened. Can you have two different kinds of servers on your PC even if only one is turned on at a time?
No you can get PHP to run out of a TomCat Web Server.
See this somewhere in the middle of it he tells you how to download a PECL extension that will allow TomCat and the PHP interpreter to become friend.
I am deploying a synchronized web enviroment with WAMP and Google Drive. For one reason I want that the Apache server uses the port 8080. Well, but if a put a wordpress website in the apache main folder, it does not work in Chrome, but yes in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
The point is that in Chrome when i do:
localhost:8080/my-wp
it redirect me to
localhost/my-wp
And then it does work beacause my apache server is running in port 8080.
Is it a bug or i can solve that in chrome settings?
