Well this is a screenshot after i got it working so you’ll see my httpd daemon is already running. I posted it just to make sure you guys are following me 

Now after some research i found some solutions , so i am going to list them all here. But none of them worked for me , (well they might for you)

Here is one solution from the site cameroncooke.com

1) Launch RegEdit:

2) Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP

3) Add a new DWORD (32-bit) value

4) Name it ‘NoRun’ not including the quotes

5) Double click the new property

6) In the Value data field type ‘1? not including quotes and click OK

7) Re-boot your computer

But obviously it didn’t work for me.

Second solution from the comments on the same post

Go to Services (search for “services” on windows start menu ) and then disable Windows Remote Management

Third solution that worked for me was to disable the Running IIS server on my computer. It is disabled by default and i have turned it on some days back for some reasons . Turning that off solved my problem. Go to Windows Start menu and search for “turn windows features on or off”

Then start the program and uncheck the Internet Information Services

Then just reboot your computer and try to start the apache (it will start ofcourse).

I hope it helps a few fellow web developers. if you are still facing trouble please ask in the comments section

Update : Sometimes SKYPE also occupies port 80. So make sure to run your apache server before you start skype

Google Easter Egg , Countdown to end of the year 2009

After the restart when i tried to boot into Ubuntu , the GRUB screen came and i was like what do i do now ? I am a techie but i am not that into Linux so i was clueless there.

So i had to boot into Windows again , fire up Firefox and hunt the web for a solution as now i had everything in my Linux Environment.

Finally i found a solution  and compiled everything at one place.

Please follow the following steps if you too got stuck at the GRUB screen in a WUBI installation after doing a Linux Kernel Update / Update to Ubuntu

sh:grub>set root=(loop0)

sh:grub>linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro

sh:grub>initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic

sh:grub>boot

please note /ubuntu/disks/root.disk is the location of your WUBI installation (default being C:\ubuntu)

this will enable you to boot into Ubuntu Back

After booting  into Ubuntu follow these steps to not to see that GRUB screen again during starting up.

Open Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)

Type sudo update-grub2 and click Enter, enter your administrator password and voila your GRUB list is made again. and you’ll not the GRUB screen again

I hope that helps. if you have any doubt please say in comments.

Not only that Google has also declared Microsoft to be the Devil . Don’t believe me… see for yourselves

But its just one side of the story. Microsoft seems to hate Google in the same way as well. Yeah people Bing (Microsoft’s search engine) preaches Google is Evil too.

Hey Wait… how can we forget Yahoo. Let us see what they say to all this.

Unbelievable !! Yahoo has only one thing to say –> Google You Rule

Well i think we finally have the answer. You know what i think Google and Yahoo are planning something. Google also says the same for Yahoo. i don’t know about you guys but i smell a rat

Some of the features in this “unlocked” version of the phone are as follows in the following pictures.

Now all the features are almost similar to the original HTC Magic except that the Phone has a lesser RAM . The  screenshot taken from HTC product page says the HTC magic has 288 MB RAM but Google ION has 192 MB RAM

Also some say there is a difference in UMTS frequency of both the phones. but it hardly matters to me.

But the most interesting features in Google ION / HTC Magic which makes it a must have phone

• Root Access to the Phone –> go ahead install the Cyanogen MOD and get the features you always wanted in your HTC Magic
• The capacitive touch screen
• No keyboard so it is sleek as compared to ADP 1 / HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1
• Better Battery Life than G1

Pricing : Google ION is available for $399 from Android Developer Center. Shipping is free for USA only. For other countries you need to pay shipping and tax as well. For example Total Cost of Shipping and Handling (including taxes) to India is $107 .So you need to pay $506 to buy the phone. On the other hand the HTC Magic(unlocked) is also available for Rs. 23000 ($500) from ebay india.

Final Notes : It is a decent phone and if you want an android phone that is not much costly this phone is what you are looking for
