Hi all,
I have a problem starting xampp. It does start normal (xampp control panel), i can start MySQL normal but apache does not start. When i start xampp_start.exe (starting xampp without xampp control panel) i get this error:
os 10013 an attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions
To solve this problem i googled quite a while but i came up empty. I did find some topics that may seem the correct answer but after trying them it still wouldn't start.
After some search work i tried some system settings and checked out some programs from which is known they are using port 80 (and in the beginning port 443). I've used several programs like Team Viewer, Logmein and so on. I did uninstall them and rebooted my system. I also tried uninstall xampp and then reinstall it. This came up empty as it would not start. I keep getting the same message.
I do not use the following programs (these programs were never installed anyway because i have no use for them):
- MS IIS
- Skype
Uninstalled programs (which are known to be using either port 80 of 443):
- LogmeIn
- Google Earth (just want te get rid of it)
Used (network)programs that I use:
- Remote desktop connection manager
- Remote desktop
I do not believe this is a problem because it is using RDP for protocol not http(s), also it is using port 3389 instead of 80 or 443.
After executing the netstat -o command on the CLI of windows it came up empty. Also the parameters -a and -b came up empty. However i did saw a process with (P)ID 4 using port 80 (something like 0.0.0.0:80 this). This is a system process which i cannot kill.
The strange thing is that the installation of xampp (under portable apps) on my external hard drive (Western Digital Passport Essentials SE) is working fine. Also this problem is occurring since I updated my computer from microsoft (patch tuesday last week). Before this day it was working fine.
In order to be sure, i have had my firewall (which asked me permission when i installed xampp for the first time) and anti-virus scanner disabled. This did not work either. The firewall rule still exists anyway. I also cleaned my register. I found one entry which i removed after uninstalling xampp. I did install xampp more then once both with and without service. It still didn't work.
Please can someone help me?
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
