port 80 issues after previous installation [SOLVED]
Posted: 09. May 2011 07:34
I have only recently began coding in php and was using xampp to run apache for a few a months.. Recently the apache stopped running.. I did not check the log file as I was not aware of it's existence at the time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and kept coming up with either port 80 or 443 being already in use. I ran currports to check which it was and found 3 open port 80s. The weird thing is that all three open port 80s had the local port name of http. I was able to close one but am unable to close the other two. These two list their state as listening, not all sure what that means. Naturally, trying to reinstall again produced the same error message. So now I desperately turning towards the community for a little assistance. Any all advice is appreciated... ps I do not use skype and I do not believe any other application is causing the issue. Very confused.. Please Help.
