IE10 (Windows 8) Apache Crash

Question

just installed windows 8 and it's hard for me to work with apache.

After several adjustments in the httpd.conf file (port changes due to WWAHost.exe and resolution: 1 due to IPv6) I finally got it (installed with EasyPHP), but when I open the local site in IE10, Apaches stop responding and keep trying to load the page forever.

I think this is due to IE10 because it works fine in other browsers before loading any local site into IE. After that, I have to restart Apache in order to work again, and not use IE10 so that it does not work.

Did you have the same problem?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and managed to fix it with the following solution, see http://astutelogic.com/ie-freezes-easyphp-apache/ . Since I already had modern Apache, I just added

AcceptFilter https none AcceptFilter http none EnableSendfile Off EnableMMAP off 

in front of the boot module section. it worked like a charm.

My configuration was: Apache 2.4.4, i.e. 10

Answer 2

I had the same problem as Apache 2.4.2 (EasyPHP 12) with IE10 on Win7, although I think I found a solution on astutelogic.com that seems to work ... At least upgrade Apache to 2.4 .4 using these instructions worked for me.

I downloaded the Apache binaries from the Apache Lounge, then after the extract / rename steps, I copied my current php.ini and httpd.conf files to a new folder and added extra lines to my httpd .conf 'as instructed .

According to the linked page, a note about development servers and live servers:

As far as I understand, the AcceptFilter directive really only works on FreeBSD and Linux (to a lesser extent), so there is no benefit from using them on Windows. I could be wrong, though ... In any case, its only development environment, so a few milliseconds slower should not be a problem.

Update

EasyPHP 13.1, which ships with Apache 2.4.4, has recently been released. If you have not tried the steps that I linked to above (or just updated EasyPHP), I would recommend that you simply download the updated stack.

Answer 3

I am trying to fix the same problem in IE10 on Windows 7 and found that using compatibility mode facilitates most of the delays using local sites.

I know this is not quite a solution, but I also experienced these problems in Windows 8 and tried to distribute the fixes to no avail.

Answer 4

Maybe something with ThreadsPerChild.

Check error.log and httpf.conf:

 # Server-pool management (MPM specific) #Include conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf 

I had the same problem in IE10, but now I can not reproduce it. I usually use Firefox, and no problem. It seems I got this problem after upgrading to Apache 2.4.
