Topic: Apache is not running

I'm using WOS Portable II but when I start WOS I receive this message " Apache is not Running / MySQL is running"  How I start Apache? I use Windows XP service pack 3.

Re: Apache is not running

Be sure you have downloaded and are running the latest version.  Your reference to WOS (the old name) for Mowes makes me think you might not have the latest. In any event (even if you have the latest), I would download again and re-install.  This program works wonderfully and it should be working for you too.

Re: Apache is not running

I have the same problem, wit hthe latest package files. I also extracted them twice, still only MySQL working. Using Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.

Re: Apache is not running

I had the same issue and mine turned out to be a missing 'logs' folder in the apache2 folder. Just create the logs folder and try again.

Re: Apache is not running

Apache cannot run for many reasons (SEE: http://www.moweswiki.chsoftware.net/ind … need_HELP)


If its "Skype" problem(Skype is using port 80 and the same port is defined by default to Apache, therefore conflict occurs), then you  have three choices:
*everytime before starting apache, check that Skype is closed (opening Skype after is ok)
*Redefine the port 80 to something else in apache conf (from CMD with command 'netstat -a' you can see which ports are beeing used by what programs)
*Redefine Skype ports.

Re: Apache is not running

I have the same problem here and just reinstaled apache package. It worked for me, but I like to have another solution.

Re: Apache is not running

Indeed my issue was Skype hogging port 80. I had no idea that this was in fact happening. Why skype wants port 80 I have no idea, i'm not too happy with it atm.

Re: Apache is not running

Skype blocks this port in the standard setting (I have no clue why) but you can change it easily: in skype go to actions->options->advanced->connection and there disable "Use ports 80 and 443 as alternative ports for incoming connections" and restart skype to make it work

Re: Apache is not running

A new problem and his solution.

With the teamviewer program, isn´t work the apache mowes.

Only it is necessary to deactivate the teamviewer and to working with the Apache without problems.

Regards.

I encountered same problem. This is a port conflict. Save yourself a lot of grief. Use the procedure in the wiki to change the listening port for your apache2 server. This is found in the http config file in the config directory of the apache2 folder.

I am running Windows 7

Re: Apache is not running

I have a problem with starting apache on WinXP.

Using cmd with httpd -t produces:

G:\apache2\bin>httpd -t
httpd: Syntax error on line 141 of G:/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load G:/apache2/modules/mod_actions.so into server: Unzulässiger Zugriff auf einen Speicherbereich.

Message in english should be "Invalid access to memory location".

When commenting this line out the error resumes on the next line with the next .so module (mod_alias.so). So i suspect there is a prolem with loading the .so files not with mod_actions.so itself.

Has anyone a hint where i should look at to fix this problem?

Re: Apache is not running

It is simple (for me was this a solution) - you cannot use this part of httpd.conf (at the end):
LoadModule php5_module "C:/MoWeS II/php5/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/MoWeS II/php5"

use instead this dll module
LoadModule php5_module "C:/MoWeS II/php5/php5apache2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/MoWeS II/php5"

Of course you must modify the paths to your configuration.

Re: Apache is not running

From the previous post - it solved only temporarily crash of apache by start, but then after while it was in the state of "not running".
After some tryings I solved the problem with combination of apache 2.2.11 with php 5.2.10 (the problematic combination was apache 2.2.11 with php 5.3.0).
