Tracy8277 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi all, I cannot seem to get Apache to work in WAMP on windows Vista! I disabled IIS as not to interact with Apache but when I try to install Apache it says that port 80 may be occuped by Skype! Except I have removed Skype??? I have no idea what else to do? Thanks Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peranha Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Apache comes with the WAMP installer, you do not install it separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy8277 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yes I already have it installed with WAMP but it will not work because it says that there is an error and that something is holding port 80 i presume! How do i find this out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 have you got a programme called skype installed by chance? skype uses port 80 the same as Apache. Either disable/uninstall skype or configure Apache to use a port other than port 80. To do so left click the WAMP tray icon and select Apache > httpd.conf Scroll down and find Listen 80 Change 80 to 8080 Scroll down futher and find ServerName localhost:80 again change 80 to 8080 Save the httpd.conf and restart WAMP. To access WAMP go to http://localhost:8080/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Or set up Skype not to use port 80. Go to Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection and uncheck the checkbox next to 'use ports 80 and 443 as alternative ports' (the wording may be different, I use localised version of Skype) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
