Apache install interrupted
Don’t ask why, but I was attempting to install Apache 2.2 on my Windows desktop tonight. Unfortunately after double-clicking the installer, it would give me the following error:
After quite a bit of hunting I found a rather odd solution. If you disable all of your network interfaces (I had two running) and try the installer again… it seems to work fine.
I have no idea why that works.

your dns can’t resolve your comp name.
so add your comp name to hosts file:
127.0.0.1 your_compname

I been searching for a few hours now for a solution to that problem. I tried disabling my network cards. Shut Norton, disarmed the firewall, disabled simple file sharing from folder options (someoen claimed that work) but to no avail. That f*&% message keep reapearing. I don’t have internet which means that every sugestion must be noted and tried when i get home. Only to return here and search for more ways to get this crap to work. What ticks me off is that apache’s website is useless when it comes to addressing these problems. At this point i just want a work around that gets this server to just work already.

Put
127.0.0.1 localhost
in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
and it works.
thanks a lot….

Hello,
I have a peculiar problem. Installing Apache 2.2 was ok. I even got the correct mod_python version for my python 2.4 and installed. I had to locate Apache for the mod_python install and it gave me this message:
mportant Note for Windows users, PLEASE READ!!!
1. This script does not attempt to modify Apache configuration,
you must do it manually:
Edit C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf,
find where other LoadModule lines are and add this:
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
2. Now test your installation using the instructions at this link:
http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/inst-testing.html
I manually loaded “”LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so in the Apache config files but when I restarted Apache it gave me an error saying it cannot locate Edit C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_python.so procedure and this error would usually stop the server. I checked the modules directory in Apache and quite clearly the mod_python.so is there…but I was amazed Apache is saying it can’t find the procedure.
Does anyone know what I am expected to do here? Thanks.
PS.
A painless WAMP for windows–where the P stands for Python would certrainly help here. Configuring these things can be a nightmare. Would django also consider using IIS someday?

Everyone that use LoopBack adapter , disable him before you install.
