Apache Friends Support Forum

Its been a while since I've had apache on my server, but I have just installed xampp. Apache won't start... I seem to remember having a port confilict previously but can't remember what it was. What port does apache use by default, and can this be changed?

I am running windows 2000 server.

OK, I found out that apache is trying to bind to port 443 which is being used by the Inetinfo.exe which is part of the MS Server Internet Information Services

Can I change the port apache is trying to use?

Will I have the same problem with MySQL?

OK, I found where to change the port number to... by editing the httpd.conf file

It is set to Listen:80

Why is it trying to bind to port 443?

Both 80 and 443 are used by the inetinfo.exe

Why want you run two webservers?

I have never used the MS Webserver it is there by defualt. I am more familiar with apache.

Is is not easier then to deinstall IIS and use only Apache?
--> you will not have problems with ports (port 80/443 are the default ports for webservers)
