Try a reboot it often works.

Download CurrPorts from here and run it as it may tell you exactly what is using port 80:

You may be able to download a version in your own language.

One has the local and remote address as 0.0.0.0 and the other one simply has :: as the local and remote address

It was the IIS that was causing the issues. Running smooth now.

from the link I provided above if you had cared to read it as the actual offender was IIS and when properly disabled fixed the issue - Also known as World Wide Publishing.

To disable IIS go to
Start>Control Panel>Programs and Features
on the leftmost side you will find an option
Turn Windows features on or off
click on it and uncheck
Internet Information Services
click OK
and then restart your computer.


- open "inetmgr"
- expand your computer
- expand sites
- right-click the default web site
-- select stop (XP)
-- manage web site --> select stop (Vista/7)

For work purposes, I have to use IIS frequently. So instead of turning off the service, I use IIS Manager to stop my local instance.
