Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi, I'me new with this tool.
I've just installed xampp and now I would like to know how to impost the port for the Apache server. For now the port 80 is busy. How could I impost a different port for the listening of server?
Please help me, I need very much your help
Thanks in advance

you can change the port apache tries to use in the httpd.conf file, which you can find in the xampp directory. However, port 80 is the standard port on wich a web server should run. I can't see why it should be busy, except if you run another web server.

in the httpd.conf look for:

Code: Select all

Listen 80

and

Code: Select all

ServerName localhost:80

httpd.conf can be found in: [xampp dir] / apache / conf /

Thanks a lot, now it is working!!

I am running Skype as well and would like to leave Skype on its default port numbers. XAMPPLite version 1.5.1 is installed on the PC. I tried changing:

c:\myweb\xampplite\apache\conf\httpd.conf

as follows:

ServerName 127.0.0.1:8090

and

Listen 8090

Yet, when I start Apache in the XAMPP control panel (note: Skype NOT running), and run xampp-portcheck I get the following:

Apache (HTTP) 80
Apache (WebDav) 81

Any suggestions?
