Problem with installing Xampp on windows xp service pack 3

Post by seamoh »

Hello all
realy I installed xampp on windows xp service pack 3 ,and apache and mysql runs on the control panel ,but localhost doesn't work ,I searched on the google and I underestood that the port of 80 was used by another programs
I use netstat -nao on the command line to underestand the other programs that occupy port 80.it showed that
two other programs runned on port 80
I tried to find the service in the task manager of windows ,but I didn't find the services that are occupied by port 80 in the process tab of the task manger ,it seems that some of the services are hidden in task manager .I should mention that Skype or IIS is not installed on the windows.
Please help me.I appreciate your help.

do netstat /? and find the switch you need to show the process ID of each process that's listed. Then in the task manager process tab, make sure the PID column is visible. You can then match the pid from the netstat listing with the processes listed in taskman.
