But whenever I type in http://localhost and http://192.168.0.2 I get a cant connect error page. Apache is allowed in my windows firewall so I have no idea why it wont work. Any ideas? Heres the Apache error log. httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.0.2 for ServerName [Thu Nov 20 03:38:29 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu Nov 20 03:38:29 2008] [notice] Server built: Jan 18 2008 00:37:19 [Thu Nov 20 03:38:29 2008] [notice] Parent: Created child process 304 httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.0.2 for ServerName httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.0.2 for ServerName [Thu Nov 20 03:38:30 2008] [notice] Child 304: Child process is running [Thu Nov 20 03:38:30 2008] [notice] Child 304: Acquired the start mutex.

I'm not experienced enough to help you with your question but, I found the non-installer version of xampp very easy to set up under XP. I start or stop Apache and mysql as desired with just a mouse click. The non-installer version writes no registry entries so it creates no potential problems with the OS. The installer version does make registery entries. Wamp is another that reportedly works better under vista.
Looks like the http port has been set to 8080 and not 80. So if you type http://localhost it will not work, until you add :8080. Personally I prefer wampserver its very easy to setup and comes with php mysql and apache. you can get it over at http://www.wampserver.com Q
