Unable to Connect to Apache2.2.11 Local Test Server
I installed Apache2.2.11 on my local computer to setup a test server. Since this is a local test server, I chose the option for "Current user only" with the port 8080. The installation went fine and when I tested it with the command, httpd -t, I get Syntax OK. However, when I try to connect to Apache by entering http://localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080, I get an "Authentication Required" prompt. I tried all sort of logins from my computer login to my router login, but it would not let me log in. I have Commodo Firewall and I turned it off but it does not help either. I rebooted my computer and Apache says all services are running. How can I get past this "Authentication Required" prompt and connect to Apache on my browser?

you need to set credentials for the user inside apache, not a windows/router etc user

What is your installation procedure. I have never seen that it would ask for such option...
Probably you have .htaccess file in the web documentroot folder with an option 'Require valid-user', if you remove either .htaccess or this option (it may also be in server's httpd.conf), login message should disappear.
