''Apache is not running'' problem

[Cristiano Bohessef]

MoWeS opened for me, but when I click to Launch Gran Turismo GR appears like 'Page cannot be found'

At MoWeS, I see 'Apache is not running...' and 'My SQL is running...'. Is that normal or Apache should be running?

[Trigger Happy]

Works well on my side. Yes, both Apache and SQL should be on running status.

[Alonsomania]

yes, both apache and mysql should be running. Sure your firewall is not blocking?

I don't think so, I tryed to disable the firewall but it stills...

i try to start the web service, and apache doesn't run.
MySQL works fine, but apache doesnt.
So when i start the game, i see 2 seconds of the loading screen then it goes white and freezes.
Help?

EDIT: Fixed, try rebooting your computer, and shutting down your firewall completely.

Yesterday everything worked well...

Well, problem solved . I've found this page: http://www.moweshelp.chsoftware.net/ (Troubleshooting -> Apache). In my case, I just had to exit Skype .

display always white... local server works...

[Trigger Happy]

both apache and mysql are on running status?

[LorSong]

apache... it's hellicopter? ))

[Trigger Happy]

OK, you added the picture, you can see, that in fact your local server is NOT running.

Closing Skype indeed solved my issue, however the Appache-starting program is refusing to disappear, and obviously if I exit it, it kills Apache.

[Trigger Happy]

Luke, you need to have the server running = the apache must run all the time you want to play GTGR, so guess the skype must be off all the time.

[Lukeno94]

I know, that's not my issue, I've got no issue with playing GTGR now The issue is that the application that starts Apache stays open in a window all the time.

[Trigger Happy]

it's not issue, it's necessary.

[Lukeno94]

No, it's not, it should, at least in theory, close as it's simply a loader - the MySQL or whatever the other one is DOES close.

[Alonsomania]

No, it's not, it should, at least in theory, close as it's simply a loader - the MySQL or whatever the other one is DOES close.

It IS nessesary. Apache is 'rendering' files, MySQL is the database connection.

I think this problem has also been explained by other people, but in my case, Apache and MySQL are BOTH ON 'RUNNING' STATUS.
But I still have a white screen in GTGR window...

[Alonsomania]

Something is wrong with Apache then as it is not loading anything. Try http://localhost/game.php in your webbrowser. If that doesn't load there is an issue with Apache.

[xyz]

if I load that web page in my browser (FireFox FTW!!!) it gives me a total-white page.

[Alonsomania]

Then something is wrong with Apache. It might be running, maybe the firewall is blocking its connection.

[xyz]

I have no firewall. (deactivated). Also, I had to change the port from 80 to 8080, because before that, Apache was on 'NOT RUNNING'.
But still not working.

[Alonsomania]

If you disable your firewall and change it back to port 80, what happens?

[xyz]

Apache says "not running".

[Alonsomania]

Then its being blocked by something. Maybe you need to alter the port number somewhere else to use that, have no clue where tho.

[xyz]

maybe THIS #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 ?

Edit: no. it isn't.

Edit 2: can it be blocked by another web-based app, like uTorrent?
