XAMPP runs on a 404 error in win7 64bit. Why?

[hwalker1]

I have Dreamweaver installed and use Xamp for running php sites. However, when I test a site that is in asp (one that I have to maintain) I still use local host, but the IIS version. I always get a 404 error, and the localhost that it refers to is reported as:
localhost
03/12/2011 16:15:13
Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1
When the localhost link is clicked, Xampp does appear as the text suggests.
When it should be localhost for IIS, which I don't think runs on Apache.
Is this normal?
If it is, how do I fix it?

You probably have Apache installed as a service - you can't do that if you want to manually Stop/start Apache and IIS

Good Luck

Does this only apply to Windows 7?
It worked fine on XP an automatically switched between the PHP server and the IIS one.

Its impossible to guess how things are set up on your machine or on your XP machine

BUT - regardless of the Windows version - you can't have two services that start automatically that use the same port. Its like trying to drive two cars down a one line highway at the same time.

IIS and Apache both need manual starts OR you need to let one start, knowing you will have to stop it if you wish to use the other one. Its the same with ALL services (and always has been).

Good Luck
