Apache Friends Support Forum

I reinstalled the xampp in same folder

e: xampp

and when i try to run apache, the icon does not color itself green it says busy

localhost gives me blank page

any idea?

is normal push on status and you see

httpd stats 0 service 1

your sarver is worked but is a like some flesh bug ..
is not show green but work any way

it does not work, localhost gives me blank page

after install i got notification that both ports are blocked, 80 and the other one too.

what to do?

I have win 7

sorry dud i don't use win7 is a shit ...
open computer management, services and applications ma by you already have server on boar ?

if not open firewall and watch what use port 80

win 7 is cool

i cant understand you good, your english is bad

what should i do, i cant start mysql and apache now

why I cant run this program?

People would assume that most of us use skype and that skype might use the port 80. So why not to move the port of apache and mysql to something random?

This stuff should work out of the box, I am looking for alternative

Because these Ports are all default ports.
Port 80 is the default port for HTTP communication
Port 443 is the default port for HTTPS/SSL communication
Port 3306 is the default port for MySQL.

e.g. when you change the port for HTTP to Port 81, you have to add on every request to your HTTP Daemon this port, so that your server knows, that this Request is for him.
http://my.url.com:81/index.php doesn't look really beautiful does it? And all of your webapplication have to handle this port too.

so what is the solution for this problem?

I cant use the program

is it because I installed it before in e: xampp location, but I reformatted the disc C:

See if by following exactly the instructions in this post to uninstall and then reinstall using a different method helps your case:

Also download and extract the exe file of the new version 3 of the XAMPP Control Panel to the xampp installation folder, then use it instead of the CP included in the release.

Good luck.

this program is really hard to manage

I need my skype online all the time for god sake

Skype uses ports 80 and 443 by default.

You can alter that behavior by going to:
Tools\Connection options...\Connections

Untick
Use port 80 and 443 as alternative for incoming connections

Now you can have Skype and Apache running at the same time.
