Thread:Project:Support desk/HTTP 500 problem when trying to access mediawiki/reply (11)

I think I am finally getting somewhere with this problem. I accidentally noticed that my (windows) Services list listed an Apache2.4 service as well as a mediawikiApache service (the typical name of the service when it is installed.)

As soon as I stopped mediawikiApache and started Apache2.4, I immediately got some debug info right there on the wiki address page.

(Still, no debug file dump, though, although I have spent upwards of 2 hours researching Windows 8 permissions and all that - I still don't get it - must be slow. Apache is listed as a SYSTEM in my task manager and it looks like SYSTEM has all the access to the folder I am trying to write debug dump file to.)

Anyway, I might go back and completely reinstall everything again, making sure that I have no "Apache" services left on my system AT ALL.

Interesting.
