How do I install XAMPP on a different port on a system already having IIS on port 80 and Apache 2.2 on port 8000 (for a different application) and Mysql on port 3306

Why you want to install a second apache + mysql?
You can deal different pages with one apache.

How do I install XAMPP on a different port

Change the "Listen" directive in httpd.conf".

.... and port 443 is defined in apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
(three occurrences have to be modified)

Instructions are here: http://zedfiles.com/DTX/

It would be useful if we knew about a free port to assign for ssl, we know we can change port 80 to 6060, and mysql to 6080... but there is no hint for a replacement for 443 port...

Give 6065 a try... it is open.

hi
i would like to know if there is a way to delete this port 80 and port 443 and install from scratch
i installed the xampp 1.6.7 installer and it also said that "port 80 and port 443 SSL is already in use. Installing Apache2.2 service failed."
i had xampp before but didn't have this problem.
i uninstalled it for some reasons and re-install
now i'm getting this problem
can i just install it with the same port again?
thanks for your help

Dude, this thread is 6 months old...

You can not delete any ports. If an Port is open, it normally means that a software is listening on this socket and waiting for connections. If you shut down this software, the port is free.

If you want to know what software is using this Port, you can run the xampp_portcheck.exe in the xampp main folder. It will tell you everything you need.

I had some problems with mysql not running on XAMPP (first time I've had a problem since I started using XAMPP a year ago). I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I unistalled XAMPP using the uninstall program in the XAMPP directory. I downloaded a fresh copy of XAMPP from the server (1.7.0) and installed it, except it gave me the 80 or 443 error. I ran xampp-portcheck and this is what the result is:

Please wait a moment...

Service Port Status
==================================
Apache (HTTP) 80 SYSTEM
Apache (WebDAV) 81 free
Apache (HTTPS) 443 SYSTEM

MySQL 3306 SYSTEM

FileZilla (FTP) 21 free
FileZilla (Admin) 14147 free

Mercury (SMTP) 25 free
Mercury (POP3) 110 free
Mercury (IMAP) 143 free

I can't see apache in the services tab, so why does it say port 80 is taken up? How do I free that port?

Which version of Windows?
