webmatrix on windows

[rogerl_uk]

I run windows vista 64 bit Home premium sp2 and have both IIS and XAMPP loaded on my system. So long as I stop IIS then I can start Apache and everything works.

This weekend I tried to install Microsoft Webmatrix as it supports Drupal and DotNetNuke, assuming tha tI could stop IIS to run Apache as before. The install didn't seem to work, so I uninstalled it.

I have successfully (I think) completed a system restore to a point before I tried to load Webmatrix. However, even though I can stop IIS I cannot load Apache from the Xampp control centre!

In hindsight it was stupid of me to trust a Microsoft product but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Short of a complete rebuild (and I have tried installing the latest version of Xampp) can anyone suggest a solution that enables me to retain the databases that I have set up on MySQL?

Many thanks

I've tried to install Xampp v1.7.7

I've viewed the topics recommended by Shayley, but either missed the solution or it is not there (IIS is stopped so that isn't causing the conflict)

I've disabled IIS and using the port check on the Xampp console ports 80, 81 and 443 are free.

Reading through various posts I've discovered the APache error log and found this message:

OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down

This does not help me, but does if someone can tell me where to go from here I would be grateful.

I am running Norton Internet Security 2011, but this wasn't an issue before.

I suspect there may be something hanging around in the registry, but don't know what to check

So further guidance would be helpful

I've loaded the xampp control panel v3.0.2 and tried to run xampp.
