'''ANS:''' ''First off run to the bathroom or outside and throw up on whoever you see first, and then run back in and get a hammer to smash the damn PC. Wait.... don't do that... what you should do is go and check if you have Skype or any other program that you think might be using port 80. After finding that out... disable the program or change the port if you can, and then try it again. If you still get the error, post a thread in the forum and we will reply ASAP.'' | '''ANS:''' ''First off run to the bathroom or outside and throw up on whoever you see first, and then run back in and get a hammer to smash the damn PC.

''When the server fails to start properly, it also closes the W:/ drive. If the server says it starts, then the W:/ drive disapears, and your port 80 is not in use, more than likely your install is corrupted. Backup your server (Especially the 'www' folder and your MySQL databases, 'usr/local/mysql/data'), and replace all the files with a fresh download from http://www.uniformserver.com. Make sure it works, then replace your web root and your databases.'' | ''When the server fails to start properly, it also closes the W:/ drive.

'''ANS:''' ''What you should do this time is go to the fridge and bribe the PC or yourself with a good mix of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. After that then have patience. If you are using Win98 or NT please note that this has been reported and we do know and are working on it. It is noted to happen on the WinNT system but has been reported on the Win98 system also. It is because the start and stop system are powered by Process32 which is a bug on those system, but notedly WinNT.'' | '''ANS:''' ''What you should do this time is go to the fridge and bribe the PC or yourself with a good mix of vanilla and chocolate ice cream.
