Apache Friends Support Forum

my goal is to be able to use php4 and php5 at the same time. right now I have apache installed via yum using php5.

I want to run xampp's apache at the same time on port 81 (instead of 80 like my other apache server) i adjusted the http.conf to listen on port 81 but xampp won't let me start apache saying that another webserver is already running

how can i get around this?

So you want to run 2 servers from port 81?
How would you like to do that *lol*.
You can only run 1 server on each port.
If it's still saying that a server is running,
try to stop all services, reboot and start all services again.
This might help you.

no i have a server running on port 80.

i want to run the xampp's apache on port 81. but it refuses to start saying another server is already running. I want to bypass this.

Where did you configured the port settings (which file(s))?

i edited /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf (to edit the listen port of apache)

You're right. I've edited the file too (changed port to 8080), opened port 8080 but Xampp will still run via port 80... sorry 'cause I can't help you. But if I find the solution I will post it.
