Apache

This document is a quick guide showing you what to do when you run into problems with the Apache HTTP Server.

"Why can't I ...? Why won't ... work?" What to do in case of problems

If you are having trouble with your Apache server software, you should take the following steps:

Check the ErrorLog!

Apache tries to be helpful when it encounters a problem. In many cases, it will provide some details by writing one or more messages to the server error log. Sometimes this is enough for you to diagnose and fix the problem yourself (such as file permissions or the like). The default location of the error log is H:\webpages\logs, but see the ErrorLog directive in your config files for the location on your server.

Consult the wiki
The Apache HTTP Server Wiki contains guides to solving many common problems.

Ask in a user support forum
Apache has an active community of users who are willing to share their knowledge. Participating in this community is usually the best and fastest way to get answers to your questions and problems.
