While installing drupal-6.17, the Database configuration page i get the following error:

1. Firefox: The connection was reset
2. Chrome: Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error.

I'm running windows 7 Professional, wamp server 2.0 with Apache 2.0.63 and php 5.0.0

using the same database configuration i could install drupal-7.0-alpha6
of course i had to reconfigure my wamp server to Apache 2.2.11 and php 5.3.0

any ideas what could be the problem ?

I backed up my site from Dreamhost and tried to host it on my WAMP on my laptop. It shows the same error.
To backup I tarred and gzipped my root folder. I used "Backup and migrate" for the DB backup.

Any Clues?

i migrated to ubuntu and the issue didn't even apear

it can be installed side by side with windows (take less than 10 GB)
support for ubuntu is way much more than for windows
issues are way less
works as my server work
way much faster
more productive environment (vim & eclipse)

i strongly suggest you do the same if you are planning to go deep in drupal

I ran across something very much like this. I was trying to move a Drupal installation from one machine to another. The old system had Log4Drupal enabled and configured to write to a log file on a drive and folder that did not exist on the new machine. Near as I could tell, the log function tried to report something and when that failed, it tried to log the failure, etc. Eventually, Apache httpd.exe blew up. Nothing was in any of the Apache or PHP log files. Only the Windows 7 Event Viewer showed an application error.

To work around the problem, it was useful to look in the database and find out what file Log4Drupal was using. The MySQL query is "select * from variable where name like 'log%'". I created all the folders needed to make that path good. Then my Drupal system was able to start and I could use Log4Drupal's admin page.
