'Apache is functioning normally", appears when I try to go to a certain website. It does this with every web browser I use. How can I fix this problem?

There appears to be a problem with the configuration of the web server. Either a critical file was removed or the domain is not pointing at the intended folder. ??

Actually, when I go to http://www.codingunit.com/ it looks fine. If you access it without the www, it redirects. Maybe the redirect is not working correctly for you?

If you do not see the www site either, try the following.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache

Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.

(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")

(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I have deleted the cookies and cache and still the same problem. "Apache is functioning normally", keeps appearing.

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.


Can you access the site via Google translate and some random source language?

If your external router is not the issue, check your Windows hosts file, and any external security/filtering and privacy/proxy software you may be running.
