Waiting for localhost.

Linux and Unix-Like Debian

I am getting the message - waiting for localhost.

Here are some diagnostic steps I have tried ....

root@meow:/home/ethan# cat /var/www/cgi-bin/httpd.conf
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/jkj
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
Listen xx.xx.xx.xx:80

I think the error I have is in the javascript call, since it hangs when executing it. Eventually the call is executed, but that eventually might be 10 to 25 min.

                        <script type="text/javascript">
                        <!--
                        window.open("HandleWeight.php","_self")
                        //-->\
                        </script>

Here are some debug info. Hope it helps.

I have written two trivial PHP programs to debug this...

start.php

?> 
        <script type="text/javascript"> 
        <!-- 
    //   window.open(" http://localhost/end.php","_self"); //slower 
    //    window.location.href("http://localhost/end.php");  //never calls script 
    //    window.location.assign("http://localhost/end.php"); //almost instantaneous 
     
        window.open(" http://localhost/HandleWeight.php","_self");  //hangs 
    //    window.location.href("http://localhost/HandleWeight.php"); //never calls script 
    //    window.location.assign("http://localhost/HandleWeight.php"); //hangs 
     

        //-->\ 
        </script>

HandleWeight is the desired target of the POS program I am developing.

The test target...end.php

<?php 
        echo "<br />World"; 
?>

The behavior is notated in the code above.
