Guest xyncro© Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hej ! I have a problem with Abyss Web Server and would like to have some help to solve it. I'm currently using abyss locally on my smal machine which has Windows 2003 Server without any problems, and now i want to run it locally on my bigger machine which has Windows XP Pro. The problem is that when abyss starts i'm getting an error saying 'Listening problems - Use the console to configure a correct web port.' and when i'm doing a configuration it gives me the same error again, even if i'm trying to 'autodetect' a new web port. I've noticed that when i'm online abyss runs smooth but when i'm offline which i am most off the time it's not running at all. I've configured abyss on server port 90 since i'm using TDS3 on 80 Does anyone know what the problem might be ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngP Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 If I remember correctly, I believe Windows XP Pro comes with it's own built in webserver. This could be causing your conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't Ask Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Well it could be better answered at http://www.aprelium.com/forum On the other hand since I have not used this server, but by guessing the common behaviours of web servers, normally web server listen to port based on either IP address or CanonicalName, some examples are Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 80 ServerName localhost:80 UseCanonicalName Off So check if it is not listening on some specific IP, it should listen to desired port on all incoming request. Win2k & WinXp usually keep the last IP address designated to them by DHCP. So double check if this Abyss Web Server is listening to desired port on all incoming request. Another suggestion try using port 8080 as this is another standard port for HTTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
