|
|
Here's the problem. I have installed Apache2Triad.1.1.6 on a Windows XP system. Everything works fine for the most part. I have two problems.
1. I cannot connect to the server using http://localhost. I have to use http://127.0.0.1 Anyone know why?
2. The system automatically sets everything up to work for 127.0.0.1 except for phpmyadmin. This for some reason wants to link by using localhost. Is it OK to modify the Code: $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/'; to Code: $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/';
If anyone could tell me why localhost doesn't work, or has run into this problem before, could you please guide me in the right direction? Thanks in advance |

127.0.0.1 is the ip and localhost is the hostname of the lopback interface
apache actually binds on interfaces , not ip or hostnames , hence if it is bound on 127.0.0.1 it will be accesible via localhost too
as for the hostname for the loopback interface it is "localhost" no "localhost." |

exactly what mancini said, but as an extra suggestion.
Have a look at your windows hosts file (in WINDIR\system32\drivers\etc). It should contain '127.0.0.1 localhost', if not that might be why you can't access localhost.
As for your second question, yes you can change it if you want.
In future change it and see what happens. If it works, keep it, if it doesn't, change it back.
It's not a bomb that blows up your computer if you set it wrong.
Just change one setting at a time and remmember what you changed it from, then eventually you'll learning something.
Anyways the main point is that your problems aren't to do with A2T, rather more likely to do with a lack of something in your win installation. |
