Testing a new installation. HTTP Error 503

Postby bilboUK » 10. September 2013 18:19

I'm new to web site creation and was advised to set up a local server :) So I've just installed xampp 1.8.2 and had to modify some port settings to get Apache running. Port 80 changed to 8088 and 443 to 4499. When I try to test the server with http://127.0.0.1in Chrome I get the Error 503. I found a post saying it could be a problem with TomCat but I can't start it, please see below, and I don't know what to do next :( Any help greatly appreciated.

If you change the default ports in Apache, you need to change the ports in the XAMPP control panel settings too.
And you have to add the port to every URL, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8088/ instead of http://127.0.0.1/
We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!
