I'm using EasyPHP, and when I start, Apache displays an error saying that port 80 is already in use.
How do I unlock this port 80?
I just checked the ports and saw that it has a inetinfo.exe (Internet Information Services) occupying that port. How do I remove it?
I'm using Windows XP and this inetinfo.exe is in:
C: WINDOWS \ system32 \ inetinfo.exe
You are running IIS , to stop it, in cmd.exe do:
net stop w3svc
This will disable the World Wide Web Publishing Service .
Once this is done, the 80 port will probably be free to use.
See if Skype is open, and other programs that use port 80.
Most of the times it gives a port 80 error already in use, it is Skype that is open.
Ideally you should change the EasyPHP port because some other programs use port 80 by default.
To change the EasyPHP Default Port:
1 - Click the EasyPHP icon
2 - Go to Configuration and click Apache
3 - Search for Listen 127.0.0.1:80
4 - Change 80 by 8080
5 - Restart EasyPHP
Whenever you access it now, access http://localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080
