Problem With Apache & localhost?
 

Hey guys, I'm having this problem with Apache on my localhost. I have the following installed on my Windows XP Pro.

Apache 1.3.33
PHP 4.3.10
MySql 4.1.9 et
phpMyAdmin 2.6.1.

All of a sudden now I'm unable to connect to my localhost. I used to just have to start up Apache and MySQL. Then type http://127.0.0.1 in my browser and I would connect to my localhost. But now it just sites there and says. 'Waiting for 127.0.0.1'.

I noticed that if I turn off Apache and type 127.0.0.1 in my browser, it would give me a 404 immediately. But when it's turned on it will just sit and hang. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've also download a program called PHPTriad that installs Apace, PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin on your box and the same thing happens when I use that.

I figured it could be due to a trojan or spy-ware, so I scanned my computer and everything is normal. I just can't seem to pinpoint why my localhost would hang like this all of a sudden. Any help or ideas to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Any Windows updates recent? Installed IIS maybe?

Changed the drive you have your webroot directory to NTFS? Changed directory permissions?

Always using the latest Apache, PHP 4.1 & MySQL 4.1 on my winxp localhost without problems. Inever use the packed products.

Well after a long night of uninstalling unneeded programs threw the add & remove section. I got my localhost working again. Seems as there was a program of some sort that must have recently downloaded interfering. Not sure how to explain what happen, but its working now.
