Error on the server "Disable the use of HOSTS". How to do it?

Question

PHP

The file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts is not writable
Disable the use of the HOSTS file or adjust permissions
Startup failed!
How to set it up?

Answer 1

it’s easier to
exit the open server, don’t turn it off, namely,
right-click on the
“run as administrator” icon - launch

Answer 2

1. Open cmd.exe (win + r)
2. Run the command there:
If this does not help, then you most likely have anti-virus software running that blocks the file on its own. In this case, you can add the openserver executable file to the trusted ones in the software settings.

Answer 3

Thanks, that was the problem too!

Answer 4

in my case, I installed navicat premium, the key did not work, I deleted the program, after the open it did not start, I opened "hosts", I see all the lines are commented, and at the end ->
127.0.0.1 activate.navicat.com
and the file itself in properties -> read only
fixed both, it worked
- this is because each project is under 127.0.0.1 , open wants to register, and the file is read only.

Answer 5

I needed autorun. Here is my solution:

Add permissions to the hosts file to change (they are not on the screen, but I hope you understand where to put them)

Answer 6

In my case, Kaspersky Internet Security protected the file from changes. I just added the OpenServer.exe application to trusted. No rights to the label and flags on hosts were needed.

Answer 7

I blocked the browser protector, checked the trust application box and it all worked.

Answer 8

Thanks, it helped!
In my case, the antivirus added the file to quarantine and closed access.

Answer 9

blocked other web antivirus
The following helped: go to the settings of the antivirus other web> "preventive protection"> "behavioral analysis"> select the "application access" tab> press the plus and select "Open Server.exe" and check the box next to "HOSTS file" ".
