port 80

Postby egg04 » 14. November 2007 05:53

Hi,

Q1: Port 80 is used by another application. How can I use other port for apache?

Q2: Why do I need to install xampp as a service? What svc and scm stands for?

thank you

There is no need to do this.

What svc and scm stands for?

svc = service
scm = service control manager

In the configuration file "httpd.conf".

In the configuration file "httpd.conf".


After modifying C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf, apache is still listening to port 80.

You must restart Apache after the modification.

So you still did not change the corresponding value of httpd.conf.

How looks your configuration for Apache? Which application is already listening on port 80?

Where can I config Apache? A backup server is running on port 80.

Use "apache_start.bat" to see the real error message.

(BTW: Your image is a little bit to big...)

Try changing the ServerName also, as it is pointing to localhost at port 80.
Look for this below where you changed the listening port to 8080:
Code: Select all
#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
ServerName localhost:80

Change to:
Code: Select all
#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
ServerName localhost:8080

Start Apache and call the XAMPP welcome page by typing this in your browser:
http://localhost:8080
The port number :8080 must be added after every address that is served by XAMPP Apache in future.

BTW it is often best practice to change the ports of the other apps using the ports that XAMPP needs exclusively - seems to be much less trouble than having to do what you are required to do in XAMPP.
xampp\xampp-portcheck.exe will give you a list of the ports XAMPP needs and what app if any is using those ports.

But for what it's worth once you have mastered how to do these types of httpd.conf edits then the rest often falls in to place.

Can you paste the results of running xampp\xampp-portcheck.exe please?

At the command prompt issue this command after closing the Control Panel:
sc delete apache2.2
Click OK
Then try start Apache again.
