Okay so I download the newest version of xampp which is 1.8 or 8. whatever...
And I am installing it on my windows 8 notebook. I get a installation error ports 80 and 144 or whatever are being used... So how do I fix this problem. Or find the program that's using those ports and uninstall or disable it...

And please keep in mind that I don't use Skype and have never installed it on this PC.


I have python and several other programming software stuff installed. Also have server manager for windows 2012 server + some remote connection software too.


It's just the appache one that doesn't work when I load the xampp program tho everything else works. Just not freaking appache man...

Open the xampp control panel and click on netstat. Is there anything listed under port 80 or port 443?

Also have server manager for windows 2012 server

Likely candidate -

Thanks I found it and ya there was something occupying port 80...xP It was the stupid IIS server manager.... Forgot to turn that off.

OK, glad its fixed

Good Luck with XAMPP.

Hi

I have the same issue as you. I noticed Server Manger was the issue so will double check tonight to see if that was turned off

with

net stop was /y

net stop ONLY stops the current instance - when you reboot its right back. Easiest fix usually is to stop the service and change the Start Type to manual

Good Luck

I guess you refering to W3SVC service..... . I noticed that someone had posted that I need to turn on off IIS7 manager as well which I will do when next boot up in my dev domain and report back.
