Apache Friends Support Forum

I installed xamp ok all mods work ok and will start except the apache mod. When I go into support I get a code1 error for the apache mod.

How can I get the apache mod to start?

Sorry, I am not sure what these 'all mods' or what the 'apache mod' is you are referring to or what going into support means.

Could you please be more specific and provide more in depth details as to what you are trying to do.

Try turning off native win7 use of Port 80 or change the Skype port. These are not my answers, I'm borrowing from others,

You have to disable the http.sys service manually via the registry:

1) Launch RegEdit:

2) Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP

3) Add a new DWORD (32-bit) value

4) Name it ‘NoRun’ not including the quotes

5) Double click the new property

6) In the Value data field type ‘1′ not including quotes and click OK

7) Re-boot your computer

You should now find that Apache will start on port 80!
