I seem to have apace working even though it wont load on Xampp. localhost:80 goes to my site sample and and localhost:8080 goes to "it works" and now site sample... JS wont load on 8080 but everything else does it has me using /htdocs as the site DIR for some reason I don't mind as long as it works so no that it says I suppose I can continue loading /htdocs/ with my web site material? how do I get PHP working... I wanna run PHPbb..

Not fully sure I understand, but it seems like your configuration is off. Searching "xampp configure apache port" yielded https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11294812/how-to-change-xampp-apache-server-port among other hits.

I believe the above link might help with this, however, my environment is setup to use the default port 80.
