not running xampp as an administrator message

[notacodetalker]

Happy July 4th:
I've been working for a couple of hours to get a local testing site up on a newer computer. I previously used the IIP method, but thought about trying xampp. Install went fine. (I later went online to view a video to make sure). Got a message telling me the program was not as an administrator. So I searched the friends site and read that I should right click the xampp icon and select run as administrator. I do not seem to be able to do that.

Also, checked my Norton's firewall and allowed two files that were suggested in a different post on the friends site.

The stream below suggested that a port 80 was being used by PID 4 ( which I determined was a system port) so I changed the port for apache to 8080 as was suggested in a friend post. However, that does not seem to work either.

Your help would be much appreciated!

I was able to find the correct file to edit via a Lynda.com tutorial and edited the two references to 80 to 8080. However that left me unable to open tomcat. The relevant massage is Attempting to start Apache app...

What port number should I use for Tomcat and which file do I edit?
Thanks.
