can't connect to port 80 - VertrigoServ/Apache

By jnxgates - Jul. 03, 2008

Hi, everyone;

After I installed pws(iis) on windows (local), now I can't connect my VertrigoServ/Apache to port 80.
I get an error, asking me to disable whatever is using port 80.

I've change the http conf to listen on 80.

I uninstalled the pws, should I reinstall Vertrigo, or do what?

mySQL is on port 3306 - it works.

thanks, in advance

    Well, if I understand correctly, your IIS is probably bound to port 80. You can change your port in httpd.conf in apache to another port (say 8080 or 8000) by adding the 'listen' directive in httpd.conf.


    If you want to use 80 for apache, you will need to stop the IIS service and that will release your port. Starting apache then will allow you to access apache on that port.


    If you have a firewall, and choose to use any other port, make sure you have that port open!

    It probably is IIS that is grabbing the port, but you can always netstat and see who is using the port and then determine if you want to kill that port. Of course, you can even telnet to that port, or point your browser to it and see what you get. Then kill it.

    look into the windows firewall. if you uninstalled IIS it may have closed port 80 on your computer in the firewall settings.
