Apache Friends Support Forum

I don't use it a lot....by the time I get a wordpress theme just the way I like it, I'm done in for a few months So, I'll just get my work done quickly for now, and worry about solving the "real problem" when my brain isn't feeling so mushy!

I had a similar problem with Skype running. Exited Skype and the page came up correctly

This was in Vista using Firefox, but I'm sure Skype 'listens' to port 80

I posted an alternative solution in another thread, viewtopic.php?f=16&t=39657&p=163376#p163376

Had a similar problems.I corrected it by clicking on port check in xampp control panel.Pop screen showed me that port 80 was being used by skype so i disabled skype and it worked.

Ok I will jump in here now as I am now WAY in over my head and struggling with Xampp. After some frustration last night I was able to get both Apache and MySql running, now I cannot access localhost.

Port 80 seems free when i use the Xampp port check feature.
