Trouble installing on windows 7
Hi,
I am trying to install Apache HTTP Server v2.2.14 on a machine
recently upgraded to Windows 7. Apache worked fine under Windows XP,
but when I go to install this in Windows 7, the install script appears
to hang. In the install wizard dialog it states:
Installing Apache HTTP Server 2.2.14
The program features you selected are being installed.
Please wait while the Installation Wizard installs Apache HTTP
Server 2.2.14. This may take several minutes.
Status:
<progress bar with thin sliver at left edge that makes no progress>
I tried with and without openSSL support, both fail the same way.
Is this install script known to work on Windows 7? If so, how do I
debug what is going wrong?
Thanks.

RE: Trouble installing on windows 7
Hi William,
Sorry to say, I cannot help on this one. But for what little solace it
is, I believe that Windows 7 is a sham and an affront to the user
community. It is simply an attempt to gather more money into the
Microsoft coffers. Have you considered Linux?

Re: Trouble installing on windows 7
Hi Wes,
Well it was a free copy, so no money to Microsoft on this one.
I figured out the issue. There was a hidden dialog underneath the
install shield dialog asking if I wanted to grant permission. Once I
discovered that and granted permission it installed fine.
Now I'm facing another issue. I can get to localhost:80 but when I
try to access from another computer inside the router, it does not
work. I wonder if port 80 is being blocked by default in Windows 7?
Thanks.

Re: Trouble installing on windows 7
Hello,
I figured it out, the issue was that Windows 7 firewall was blocking
port 80 by default. I added a rule to allow port 80 and now it works
correctly.
Thanks.

Re: Trouble installing on windows 7
Wesley,
If you have nothing to contribute to the help of this user then do not reply.
Your remarks are rather trollish, and quite frankly unwarranted. You in so many
words is exactly why I hate the Open Source community with a passion. Your
drive to force another operating system onto another user is rather immature,
and quite frankly very unprofessional. I have left user to user lists due to
such behavior. Apache is Apache regardless of what OS it is ran on, so please
offer up some assistance instead of linux fanboish attitude.
Next time think before you post, and act with a little bit more professionalism.
One pissed off multi-operating system user,
Daniel

This sounds like User Account Control - it appeared with Vista. You're =
going to get very familiar with it if you are maintaining a Windows =

Res I wanted to thank you for your statement, I've been trying to convince
my girlfriend that "bitch sessions" are intrinsically "girly" and this
testimony from an expert on apache will go a long way towards finally
convincing her!
