Ports in use on install

[tonyscarpelli]

I'm somewhat new using Apache and PHP which I am learning, but I know mySQL a bit.

When I was installing XAMPP 1.7.1 I got a message:

"Ports 80 or 443 (SSL) already in use! Installing Apache2.2 service failed!"

Is this a real problem?

It seems on one of my computers I can't run my PHP scripts, but on one of my other computers I can start Apache and I can run the scripts.

Where can I fix this error? What can be done about this?

Thanks.

Run xampp-portcheck.exe in the xampp installation folder and find out what is using those ports.

Usually Skype which you can reconfigure to use other ports.

Or Internet Information Service (IIS), the Windows server uses those ports by default and if so then you can disable IIS from the Windows Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Add/remove Windows Components or similar named links.

I to am haveing a problem with port 80, when I do the port check the result is
port 80 - C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe can I do anything about this ?

...port 80 - C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe can I do anything about this ?

This is IIS (intesrv\inetinfo - Internet Information Service) using port 80 and if you read my last post you can find what to do about it - the paths are relative to XP.
