XAMPP does not work on windows
Posted: 07. December 2011 01:25
The following actually has NO effect whatsoever on my machine, Windows XP.
After coming back to the XAMPP installation after a while doing other things, i tried configuring it, but the instructions that I found for configuring an XAMPP side-by-side with Internet Information Server do not work.
In order to access XAMPP, I have to use localhost:8000. Changing settings in http.config have NO EFFECT.
After that I am unable to install any PHP programs in the HTDOCS folder. I was looking to install Drupal. But XAMPP will allow no access to the subdirectory.
From the behavior that I am getting, I have to conclude that it is worthless to try installing Apache/Xampp on windows.

Instructions
"If you have IIS or another program using the default http port (80), you can change the default port for Apache by opening the config file (C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf) in a text editor and replacing the following entries:
•“Listen 80″ by “Listen 81″
•“ServerName localhost:80″ by “ServerName localhost:81"
