Helppp Apache 2 and wierd no page displayed problem :)

Hi guys,

I've been searching everywhere to get a solution to this problem but it seems like noone has ever had anything like it.

I have Apache 2.0.5 installed on winXP with php5 and modssl
Everything works fine on this computer.
However once i started testing the stuff i was creating i noticed that other computers can't seem to download any kind of html output that is larger than say 20kb
I first thought it had something to do with the massive JS script i had going. However when i just tried creating a simple 40kb html file it just seemed like other computers refused to download it getting a page cannot be displayed error
or would only get it partially

Any help would be immensly appreciated.

Wow, a 40KB html file? must not be tableless

So you're able to view the file using http://localhost
From an external site, it doesn't seem to work?
Only that file, or ALL html files?

Have you tried checking your Apache error logs at all?

Hi,

Yeh i didn't realize it was happening until one day i asked a friend to check one of my php pages
But for some reason it wouldnt load for him
I first thought it was js but then later after lots of stress and hair pulling i realized
it must b apache as even on my home lan i cant seem to access files which are larger than
a certian size. I just happen to test the 40kb html file
come to think of it i havent checked whether it includes non text files.

also yeh i checked the logs but nothing out of the ordinary there

however so far noones been able to help out

Will be reinstalling soon and hope that that solves it

Reinstalling isn't a terrible idea...
Try uninstalling first, making sure you delete the folder and conf files...
Then reinstall a fresh Apache [maybe even download it again]

Before you do that though, what happens if you try an image? or a plain text file? or something other than that 40KB html file?

I had a similar problem, although I'm running Apache 2 on linux (FC5) but we have a mounted Windows drive that serves as for file storage for several hundred thousand pdfs and tiffs.

in your httpd.conf file

uncomment

EnableSendfile Off
EnableMMAP Off

if you are running Apache 2 on Windows you might have to add

Win32DisableAcceptEx



For us we also had to remount the Windows drive after the httpd.conf changes and subsequent Apache restart.

Hope this helps.
