Apache Stopped Working on Windows

Xrvel — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 04:02:24 +0000

Since about 3 weeks ago until today, my Apache server stopped working on Windows XP. I have no idea why it was stopped. I have searched some solutions on Google about this. Some solution asked whether i have Skype installed on my machine, because it was known that Skype can cause conflict with apache because Skype uses port 80 (solution if Skype is the reason is : 1) uninstalling Skype, or 2) modify apache port to 8081 for example).

Here is my apache error log.

[Tue Jul 27 11:05:13 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.3.0 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Tue Jul 27 11:05:13 2010] [notice] Server built: Dec 10 2008 00:10:06
[Tue Jul 27 11:05:13 2010] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3372
[Tue Jul 27 11:05:15 2010] [notice] Child 3372: Child process is running
[Tue Jul 27 11:05:15 2010] [notice] Child 3372: Acquired the start mutex.
[Tue Jul 27 11:05:15 2010] [notice] Child 3372: Starting 64 worker threads.
[Tue Jul 27 11:05:15 2010] [notice] Child 3372: Starting thread to listen on port 80.

I have tried to install wampserver and xamp, but both gave me same error message.

Some solutions also described that we have to restart apache, windows, check firewall setting, etc, but it didn’t work on my situation.
Finally i have found a REAL solution. It seems it is related to my antivirus.
The solution is adding these lines to httpd.conf file.

EnableSendfile Off
EnableMMAP Off
Win32DisableAcceptEx

And restart the Apache server. And it worked

Website Kirim SMS Gratis KuSMS.com

Xrvel — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 08:54:06 +0000

Baru saja kira-kira 1 minggu lalu saya selesai membuat website untuk melakukan kirim SMS gratis. Yaitu di KuSMS.com. Rencana nanti mungkin user bisa daftar agar bisa simpan nomer yg sering dikunjungi di phonebook pribadi. Tapi jangan khawatir, untuk kirim SMS gratis tetap nggak usah daftar. Ada juga beberapa ide gebrakan, tapi nanti aja kita tunggu tanggal mainnya

WordPress Login ReCAPTCHA Plugin

Xrvel — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 18:04:18 +0000

This WordPress plugin will add reCAPTCHA to login page. WP-reCAPTCHA plugin must be installed first. Why use reCAPTCHA instead of other CAPTCHA? Because reCAPTCHA is a powerful CAPTCHA.

Screenshot :

Actually i love the existing WP-reCAPTCHA plugin. But it does not have feature to enable reCAPTCHA on login page, only on comment form and on registration page.

I created this under WordPress 3.0.

Installation :

You should register on reCAPTCHA site first.
WP-reCAPTCHA plugin must be installed first.
Click the link below to download WP-reCAPTCHA plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/
Go to your wp-admin page, check under “Settings” menu.
There is a “reCAPTCHA” menu.

Click that link and set your reCAPTCHA public key and private key.

Do not enter wrong public and private key.
Finally, you just need to install my WP Login reCAPTCHA plugin

To download the plugin, go to official WordPress.org plugin page, and click “Download” link there :
