Port 80 occupied! :'(

Post by nizamm »

I cannot install / run Apache since my port 80 is being used by some other program. I tried installing xitami webserver and it gives the following message:

"Could not open port 80. Port is already used by another server (WSAEADDRINUSE)"

OS: WinXP SP2
IIS: Installed & Running (Tried disabling it, but makes no difference)

Hi,

I think it is IIS creating this issue. :?

Try to Uninstall IIS or configure IIS to use a different port (other than the default port 80),
Then reboot and install Apache.

Normally a port must be a number not letter. Changing a port number to a random string is probably NOT a good idea.

I've never used that software before so I may be wrong but normally a port is a number.
