Apache Friends Support Forum

I am using Window Vista Home Premium and have been using xampplite fine for a long time (from c:\xampplite).

Running xampp-start.bat I now get;

Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden
Bitte erst bei einem gewollten Shutdown schliessen
Please close this command only for Shutdown
Apache 2 is starting ...

xampp-portcheck.exe gives;

Running netstat -a from the command prompt I see TCP 0.0.0.0:80 State LISTENING

I don't know what has changed but can you suggest how to fix this.

Apache (HTTP) 80 SYSTEM

Another webserver (I guess it's IIS) is allready running on your system. Stop this, and you can start Apache.

Solution found.

Checked my firewall and saw 0.0.0.0:80 against kservice.exe. A bit of detective work on Google and I suspected the recent installation of Sky Anytime / Sky Player.

Uninstalled this and xampplite is back to normal.
