Really need to give a bit more information here. It is a bit hard to give an idea to what the issue could be as there is a lot that goes on with Desktop Server.

What OS? Does anything open at all? If so, messaging and if not messaging? Desktop Server directly modifies your host file so you do not have too. As well, it setups the DB and all for you.

Hi Ilya,

If you want to reach out to me at matruitt30@gmail.com . I can try to help you troubleshoot this some. There are quite a few things that can cause Desktop Server not to function correctly but they are all on the site of the PC itself and not an issue with Desktop Server.

i have win 7. After i install Apache server and SQL , the desktop server seems to sort of doing it but i am not sure he really succeeded in that , and maybe this is what making the process stuck. Nothing happens after i get the screen with my local link to go and create the password, it just opens a blank web page. I am sorry What do you mean by messaging ?
