Connection to local host refused after fresh install.

Hi

IIS has stopped working on my Windows XP pro system. I initially received
an Error 13: when trying to connect to local sites.

I uninstalled IIS and then reinstalled hoping the problem would be fixed. I
don't get that error now but when attempting to connect to a local site I
get the following message.

The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1

The only complication I have on my system is that Apache is also installed.
However it is configured to start manually and is not started on boot up.

Apache is working fine when manually started.

Could there be a conflict with Apache? The 2 web servers resided on this
system together well for the past 10 months.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions about when could be my problem.

Thanks
David

Hello David,
Make sure your filewall is not getting in the way of your testing.

you can use NETSTAT -ANO from a command prompt to file out which process id
(PID) is LISTENING on on whcih TCP ports.
You can then use "TASKLIST" to find out which apps are using which PID.

This will help you see if there is a problem with you apache server or
another application.

HTH,
Andrew Pasco
