The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.
By dfano on
Things to note: Running the latest WAMP, Vista Business 64, and Drupal 6.11.
My production site runs fine and when I copy the files and create the data base on my WAMP installation it works fine. Now if i make any changes whats so ever, like add a module or change a setting Apache starts to time out. I get:
Windows:
Apache HTTP Server has Stopped working
Firefox:
Network Timeout
The server at www.localhost.com is taking too long to respond.
One thing to notice is that it's trying to go to localhost.com. I don't know where that is coming from either?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Spent 6 hours on this last night and 3 on it today :(
Another thing worth noting. I just formatted my machine. This used to work just fine with the previous release of WAMP.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Got it!!!!!!!!
go to -->admin/settings/file-system
Switch Download method:
to: Private - files are transferred by Drupal.
Not sure if this was a Vista Update but it's working now. I HAD to do this before i did anything else.
Im also getting this...
How did you resolved this?? thanks, Im also getting this error always...Please guide me.
Where is admin/settings/file-system located?
Why?
This was happening to me as well, and changing the file download method to "Private" fixed it. Any idea why this is happening?
Unable to access drupal site on local dev
I can't change to private files because I can't get logged in. The error occurs before it brings up Drupal. If I change the database user or password from root to something else it does give me the Drupal error that the site is misconfigured before I get the Windows message. Using XAMPPLITE
uuuuu u uu
dps, search for file_downloads in variables table and change its value to s:1:"0";
I guess the problem should be because of htaccess (mod rewrite), but i'm not sure yet

Syslog was the culprit in my situation...
In the event that this might help someone else, I wanted to add that I was having the exact same problem (using XAMPP) and in my case it was enabling the Syslog module that caused the Apache failure. Disabling the module cleared up the problem.
Same problem but solved
Same problem. But solved when I downloaded the /default/files/ on my local installation.
- update -
Not solved... The problem doesn't appear anymore on the node page, but is still appearing in the node/add page.
- update 2 -
Solved for me. If it can be usefull for others.
1. admin/settings/performance -> disable all cache configuration. (pages, css, js)
2. flush all cache.
3. download locally the whole site and import locally the whole database.
No more apache's crashes or unserialize variables warnings.
