Installing the install package 1.7.7 win32 on a Windows 7 machine. I'm administrator. I do not have IiS installed, I do not have W3SVC.
I've tried installing 4 times now, rebooting after each, completely uninstalling after each failure.
I keep getting the installation error: Ports 80 or 443 (SSL) already in use. Installing Apache 2.2 service failed! Then it says congrats it worked! (it didn't) and MySql is running but apache isn't.
I have only one service running on port 80: "NT Kernel & System." I found that via the command prompt: netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:80 and then bounced the result of that off of the services tab in task manager.
I'm not very savvy about services and ports but I see kernel and think that would be a bad thing to disable. I've searched the forum for +solved +windows +port +80 +apache and got nowhere.
What is the proper way to install Apache on Windows 7 when Windows 7 appears to be using the port 80?
