Windows Two Questions In One [Very Detailed Pictures]

[Ceejzor]

First Problem Accessing Localhost
It all worked fine I could access my database even set it up, but I couldn't get a website working so others could access it, so I switched to a static ip and ever since then couldn't access my database. But you may ask why not just switch it back? Well I have and ended up getting a non-working website and no connection to my database.

P.S I know there is a solution because I could access it after I changed to static-ip but when I cleared my history due to paranoia I lost the link to what I used to access it before... I know noob mistake sorry!

Xampp

As you can see, I'm clicking the button which should bring me to my database correct? instead it brings me here.


Localhost?

Some have told me try 127.0.0.1 and so I listened and here is those results.


127.0.0.1

So after trying that I decided maybe it could be a port problem so I rechecked my port-forwards and here they are if you see one I should add please tell me.

Port Forwarded Correct?

So after all of the attempts and failures I resorted to googling a replacer for mysql database and I found this and I hate it because it's not as simple as the one I'm trying to access.


Sql Studio For Mysql

For the second question it will come later on I brain farted :S So Please if anyone can help me I would sure appreciate it and of-course rep++ :thumbup:

Are you sure your IP Adress for port forwarding is 192.168.1.180?

 

[Znote]

Localhost and 127.0.0.1 is unrelated to the router. It should work to access. No matter what you ported. As long as you run the server on the same computer you are using when trying to access it.

I guess the problem is that it is blocked by a firewall or an anti virus program. Try to disable them, restart apache and try again.

If not, it seem like Apache is not doing it's job. Check the task manager, force it down and start it again. Also try to avoid using xampp-control, but instead just run the plain scripts apache_start.bat and apache_stop.bat mysql_start.bat mysql_stop.bat located in C:/xampp

Btw, what OS do you run? Windows Server 2003 Web edition? If you run Server 2003 Web edition, you have to make sure to disable the build-in apache from the OS before using xampp apache.

I sent you a message.

Could any of these two be blocking it? and OS Windows Vista

 

[bilmattan]

Hmm, yes it could. Try to shutdown both of them and try again

 

[Ceejzor]

kk here is what I did, I shutdown xampp, restarted it with the thing's you told me to Znote and shutdown AVG and windows defender was already turned off. Still can't access it

 

[bilmattan]

Did you shutdown windows firewall too?

 

[Ceejzor]

Did you shutdown windows firewall too?

I think it was shutdown before I even did it, in-case not I took picture

 

[bilmattan]

Yeah, hmm...
Could it be the router that's blocking it?

 

[Znote]

Do a port check, perhaps another program on your computer is occupying port 80.

Yeah, hmm...
Could it be the router that's blocking it?

No. A local computer running a local server who tries to access its own local database which is hosted on its own local computer. /ohh messy, but w/e.

Is not independent of the router at all.

Shutdown apache, run ./xampp/xampp-portcheck.exe, and post the results here

Just a guess, do you have a .htaccess file in your htdocs/phpmyadmin folder?

 

[Ceejzor]

Yes, should I? sorry it took so long to respond my ISP are noobs.

 

[Znote]

xampp does not support .htaccess files in the apache, they use other methods to secure certain areas.

So remove your .htaccess and see if it works.

By the way, if you want change/configure htaccess in xampp, you need to do it in: C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf

Still on a brainfart on your 2nd question?
