|
|
hello there, i tried a lot of thimes to find a way to work with a2t on stupid vista pc. till now, no luck. After playing arround, i found the right way to make it work. here are the steps:
1. first of all, disable the UAC (msconfig -> Tools -> Disable UAC -> Launch -> OK)
2. Restart the PC
3. Right click on NETWORK -> Properties -> Manage Network Connections -> Right Click on your Network Card -> Properties -> Disable TCP/IPv6 (unclick it) -> OK
4. open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and edit the file hosts (has no extention, open it with notepad) -> REMOVE this line
::1 localhost
-> save it -> close it
5. Restart the PC
6. Install Apache2Triad the normal way
7. After restarting, u got the 2 users on the login screen, login with your account (not the apache2triad account), right click on MyComputer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services -> find the Apache2Triad Service -> right click on it -> Properties -> Log On -> Select This account and type in the box on the right .\username where username YOUR login username on Vista is and on Password and on Confirm Password YOUR Vista Account Passwort is.
8. Restart PC (Last Time)
9. login again with your account into Vista
10. Type on Webbrowser http://localhost
11. DONE !!
Worked on 4 Vista PCs (32-bit and 64-bit) without ANY Problems !!! Letme know how it worked on your PC :)
===============================================
S T A T U S U P D A T E
The same installation method works FINE under Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (beta) without any problems !!!
===============================================
PS: almost 3000 views and nobody has a successstory to tell ?? SAD :shock: |

Worked like a charm.
I installed apache2triad first, then searched for an answer to this issue.
Instead of reinstalling apache2triad, I worked from the original install, skipping steps 5, 6 and 8 (without reinstalling or restarting the last 2 times).
The only time I had to restart was after disabling UAC.
Saved some time and worked just as well.
Thanks! |

| I followed all your instructions - except No. 7 I do not use any password or username to start my computer - so I did not know what to put in there. Therefore - maybe that is why I can not get into localhost. When I type in localhost in my browser, it just goes to me default search - like google or Bing. Greatly appreciate your assistance. And lastly - is 1.5.4 the latest Triad? |
