Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi,

I´running Xampp in Windows 10. Firewall in local lan is disabled.
But when I try to work with something as simple as a Wordpress the load speed is very slow, and sometime I got nothing: blank page.

Also I see that suddenly Apache starts ports are by default: 80 and 443. But after few seconds they change to one or several ports: 61145, or 34543,22345,54321 (or similar)
I found it very strange and perhaps it's relating to the problem of get a blank page...

Thank you for your help.

Are you kidding?? WordPress is neither simple nor something else, its a horrible ressource burner and there are thousands and thousand of issues in the WWW about a slow WordPress installation. What makes you believe, that WordPress is "simple"??

That's not the point Nobbie.
The point is it seems there are problems with Apache ports in my Xampp.

No, its not.

Argie, Apache only listens on 80 & 443 but sends the response on a different port. It has to so 80 can stay free for other requests.

See the first 2 paragraphs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/bind.html

Thanks gsmith. I know it.
Precisely that's my question: why Xampp Control Panel is showing 80,443 for Apache, and suddenly it changes to 50152, 51244, and so on? Because in the exact moment when this change happens, my WP can't load and returns error.

Thank you.

That looks like a firewall (or similar tools) issue.

Because the control panel is limited in its capability. It shows what ports it is active - not just what it is listening. If you are really interested do some research on how the system hands off connections.
