I have re-installed my apache server on windows 7 after upgrading from xp and i copied all the apache config files from the xp system together with my webpages onto the new system and it no longer works. The hosts files seems to work fine because i can ping the domain name but for some reason when i enter the domain into my browser, i just keep getting that annoying bing.com webpage. The config files have worked previously and i've checked all the parameters and this should work. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I use a broadband internet connection that i need to connect before i can use it but i only pay for the data i use. The ideal situation is that i just stay connected all day and when i need to use it, i can just open my browser. The problem i'm having is that i have a cap on that connection and i need to use what i have wisely. The problem i have is that certain applications will just connect automatically and start downloading data and so i have to disconnect and reconnect everytime. Does anyone know of a software application that will list every application that tries to use the network when it sees it and allows me to allocate a certain amount of MB that that application can use? For e.g Antivirus software-50MB. When this application has used up it's 50 MB then it must block this software from communicating until i decide otherwise? Regards Clinton Brits
