I'm working on a project. Yesterday it was working very fine but when I've updated my system OS from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 8 64 bit and wamp server from 32 bit to 64 bit now I'm getting very slow localhost response in my Php project (6 Senonds delay on each page) also I didn't change anything within the script. Unable to identify what could be the problem.
I just changed the server name from localhost to 127.0.0.1 in database connection configuration and it worked light speed.
WAMPServer has some probelms with Windows 8. Use XAMPP. I am a hardcore WAMPServer user. But, had to switch to XAMPP due to some threading issues.
You can read more about the issue here.
Disabling the ipv6 also improves response speed issue.
http://www.techunboxed.com/2012/08/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-windows-8.html
As an IPV6 issue, here is how you make MYSQL not to use it. (so, without disabling IPV6)
edit mysql file 'my.ini'
under the [wampmysqld] add the following:
bind-address = ::
save file and restart mysql service
enjoy!
Just want to share my fix with this similar problem.
Try changing the permission of the user "Authenticated Users" of the drive where XAMPP is installed (for me its C:). Right click Drive C:\, click "Security" tab, edit "Authenticated Users", allow everything except "full control" and "special permission" which you can't. Apply and OK. Restart XAMPP.

I got some trouble with my xampp on Win 10, as so many have had before me...
It's the same old port problem with skype and IIS.
I used to quit skype and stop the world wide web publishing service, but am sick of having to go through the whole ordial every time I start xampp.
so yesterday I changed the ports for my apache server and ecerything worked fine.
started up today and boom...localhost couldn't find my pages.
So I checked for port problems in xampp...there were none! apache was up and running(as were mysql server and filezilla). no error messages, nothing.
I resetted the ports to 80 and 443. killed of skype and the iis and everything worked fine again. Now whenever I change the ports, it will not run.
I did everything according to here:
How to change XAMPP apache server port?
(I changed the ports in httpd.conf, httpd-ssl.conf and in service and port settings )
I just don't get it. why it won't run with changed ports(and yes I checked the ports for being empty).
atm I have changed the port 80 -> 8024
and port 443 -> 1337 (no matter what I change this port to it always throws bad request)
8024 works fine. I can get to the dashboard via localhost:8024
but localhost:1337 gives me a bad request.
any suggestions, or similar encounters?
For now will have to continue using standart ports and kill of the 2 processes, but I really wanna skip that in the future.
I used port 80->8024
and port 443->448 yesterday and it worked fine...really weird...
Ok so that means your system has Microsoft IIS installed or one of the other bits of MS technology that reports that signature, they are doing that on later versions of Windows for some reason.
If you are not intending to use it you can uninstall it, it is not an integral part of windows so its being uninstalled wont effect normal operations of windows, and if you need to install it again later, it comes as part of the standard OS so you wont need to do anything perticularly clever.
So go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Click the 'Turn windows features on and off' link in the left hand menu.
Wait for the list to load and then find 'Internet Information Services'
Un check the check boxes for the following items ( you may not see all of them ), and there may be others I done know about. You may have all of these or just some of these.
IIS
Web Deploy 2.0 (Web Deployment Agent Service)
MS Sql Server Reporting service.
BranchCache ( Windows 8.1 )
SQL Server VSS Writer
List of possible service names not sure how up to date this is.
Tutorial on how to find what ports are in use on your system and what app is using them
Windows will then have a think for a while and then remove those applications, you will probably be asked to reboot to complete the uninstalls.
Reboot anyway when the uninstalls are complete.
Then try XAMPP again
I had installed wamp server successfully but after starting all services it's not turning into green. I don't know exact problem also there is no port blocking problem.
Default Apache port 80 is not using by any other program.
I am trying to find out the error but not getting any.
All the error log files are empty.
I also checked mysql port and don't have any issue.
Did you have WAMP instaled before on this current windows machine?
Did you select the explorer.exe when promted?
I had same problem after i tried to instal wamp on same location where the last one was.
You need to uninstall the current wamp, delete the folder, clean you system registries and junk files, use ccleaner for this and then instal wamp again.
I know you are professional but I will give this suggestion considering that you still beginner :
remove this one completely and reboot your machine then create new folder ,if you have tow or three partition , create it in D and name it for example wamp.
when you start installation make sure that you select correct path to your folder wamp and when you write a server name , just write localhost without .com then write the user user#localhost and make password.
after that type at browser localhost and see what what happened.
I'm starting to get crazy with this.
I have to do some modifications to a wordpress website that i didn't create. I have access to the hosting so I downloaded all the files and a copy of the database.
After creating and importing in the local database I went to wp-config.php and change the hosting parametres (user, pass, server,...) for the local ones.
But here comes the troubles. When I change the online server dbXXXX.db.1and1.com to localhost it suddenly stops working and files called index.php won't ever work again
(I get "localhost server not found" error),
even if I change the source folder, or restart MAMP or restart the laptop... The only solution is to unistall MAMP, restart the system and install it again, but when changing the name of the server to localhost it happens again...
Well... If I copy the content of index.php in another file (for example index2.php) and set the parameters to the online server it works again until I change server to localhost.
When I say "it works" means that at least I get "error database connection" from wordpress (due to the online hosting does not allow external requests to its databases).
Can somebody help? Do you need some extra information? Thanks!
MAMP did some crazy this on my PC to, so I decided to switch to WAMP -
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
You may give it a try ?!
Finally I found the error. It's due to the file ".htaccess" that Wordpress (or I don't know who) creates for using permalink and MAC OS X.
When unzipping the web downloaded from the hosting the OS deleted that file because only system files can start with a dot (".htaccess").
I didn't find the solution and just start to work in Windows with BootCamp and all was fine. I was in a hurry to finish this job so I didn't have more time to try new solutions.
So I have not the solution but the source of the problem. Hope this helps someone at least finding the problem and save some time.
I can't make a php server run on my local computer. I tryed with wampserver and Easy PHP. I checked the usage of my port:80, I changed the port from :80 to :8080, I gave Apache and mysql the permissions required on the firewall settings... I did everything, but when a type http://localhost with or without the port number browser answer is always the same:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Can you help me, please?
While I think this questions is off-topic, I will try to answer it.
I have had problems with Skype and WAMP running at the same time. If you have Skype open, close it and WAMP, then open just WAMP. There is a setting in skype to use an alternate port. It has been covered thousands of times all over the internet.
Close everything you can think of.. Zone Alarm or any other software based firewall, disable Windows firewall, temporarily disable your AV if it has a built in firewall. I am not saying you should run without protection, but you need to identify what is causing the troubles. As far as hardware firewalls, I have a Linksys wireless router (built in firewall) and I have never had to do anything to get WAMP to work behind it.
If you have been messing with tons of settings in your WAMP, then just uninstall it and re-install it. You don't need to change your port to 8080 to get it working, and doing so would require you to always include :8080 in your URL (unless you have it listen on both).
With a stock WAMP, and everything you can think of closed or disabled, try again.
The WAMP icon should be green. Click on it, and go into both Apache and MySQL. They have a "services" sub-menu, where you can start/stop/restart the service. Start should be greyed out, and stop and restart should be available. If you see one of them not started, try clicking "start service". If it still won't start, then click "Install Service". Wait a minute. Then click "Start Service".
For some reason, when I freshly install WAMP, I have to manually install the service on one of them. I don't recall which one. Once I install the service, it then will work. You might have to click the WAMP icon again, and select "Restart All Services". Then go into the Apache and MySQL menus and make sure the services are started.
OK after about an hour of trying all of the fixes and youtubes I could find, I read Wade's approach. So with that knowledge I went:
wamp menu->apache->services->start/resume and boom localhost wamp page popped right up.
This was a fresh install the error for localhost was 404 err connection refused.
I hope this helps your frustration.
So I installed XAMPP and it worked fine at first (At least I think so. I typed in localhost and got the XAMPP page).
I have the files for the site I'm working on in my Dropbox folder so they stay up to date across my computers. I was looking for a way to point XAMPP to my working folder so I didn't have to work in htdocs and then move it back to Dropbox.
I found this thread:
Make XAMPP/Apache serve file outside of htdocs
And I followed cmcculloh's answer on how to set up a virtual host.
As the last step in his instructions said, I restarted Apache.
Except it won't start.
I click Start in the control panel and it says 'Starting apache service...'
....and it sits there
After Googling about it I saw tips like disable make sure port 80 is clear and disable anti-virus. And use 'netstat -nab' in a cmd prompt to check if something is using port 80
Well AvastSVC.exe is using port 80. What I don't get is why it worked fine after I installed it, with Avast running.... But it wasn't until I tried to restart that suddenly Avast is getting in the way.... So I'm not so sure that that's the problem.
Maybe it's something I did when I was trying to set up the virtual host?
I just want to test php without uploading to a web server D=
Edit:
Oh and btw, I closed Avast and made sure the process was gone but it still shows up under 'netstat -nab'. I looked under Services and there is still an Avast service but it won't let me stop it =S
If this is just for testing/learning/development purposes, perhaps you could try using EasyPHP and set an alias to the Dropbox folder with the HTML files within. Also, I recommend you use port 8080 for development, not port 80.
