Irate Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 So, basically, I have configured IIS via Command Prompt and everything's working fine, now I have downloaded WAMPP and Apache throws me - rightfully - an error that it cannot be started because 'server' is already listening to Port 80. How do I change the port IIS is listening to via Command Line? I want to experiment with both IIS and Apache, so I'm asking. Thanks in advance. P.S.: A method to change the port Apache is listening to is also welcome. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277660-iis-75-port-change/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 For apache you edit the httpd.conf file and change the Listen 80 line. Change 80 to be whatever new port you want, save, then restart apache. I've no idea how you edit the IIS port via the command line, but if you use the administration GUI you'd just edit the bindings in the site configuration.

Irate Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Fair enough. I can set the port Apache is listening to to 8080 without conflicting the 80 port of 'system', right?

kicken Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yes. Then to load a site via apache you'd visit http://localhost:8080/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277660-iis-75-port-change/#findComment-1428375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irate Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hmmm... I changed Listen 80 to Listen 127.0.0.1:8080 but when I try to start Apache from my XAMPP Control Panel, this is the warning I receive before even starting... 17:42:25 [main] Initializing Control Panel 17:42:25 [main] Windows Version: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit 17:42:25 [main] XAMPP Version: 1.8.1 17:42:25 [main] Control Panel Version: 3.1.0 3.1.0 [ Compiled: September 20th 2012 ] 17:42:25 [main] Running with Administrator rights - good! 17:42:25 [main] XAMPP Installation Directory: "c:\php\xampp\" 17:42:26 [main] Checking for prerequisites 17:42:26 [main] All prerequisites found 17:42:26 [main] Initializing Modules 17:42:26 [Apache] Problem detected! 17:42:26 [Apache] Port 80 in use by "system"! 17:42:26 [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free! 17:42:26 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application 17:42:26 [Apache] or reconfigure Apache to listen on a different port 17:42:26 [Apache] Problem detected! 17:42:26 [Apache] Port 443 in use by "c:\program files (x86)\skype\phone\skype.exe"! 17:42:26 [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free! 17:42:26 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application 17:42:26 [Apache] or reconfigure Apache to listen on a different port 17:42:26 [main] Starting Check-Timer 17:42:26 [main] Control Panel Ready 17:42:29 [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app... 17:42:30 [Apache] Status change detected: running 17:42:31 [Apache] Status change detected: stopped 17:42:31 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. 17:42:31 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 17:42:31 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method. 17:42:31 [Apache] Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file 17:42:31 [Apache] and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277660-iis-75-port-change/#findComment-1428416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irate Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Bump, I guess. Still getting the same error. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277660-iis-75-port-change/#findComment-1428635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It look like whatever you did to try and change the port was unsuccessful. Perhaps the wrong config file or the change was not save properly. You'll also need to either disable the SSL port (443) or change it to something else.

Irate Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 I edited httpd.conf, I am sure about it. So I cannot have Skype online while I am trying to boot Apache? :l Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277660-iis-75-port-change/#findComment-1428667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irate Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Update: as I expected, I cannot boot Apache while Skype is online (means that this should have been in another section, but, oh well). Solved and marked as such. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277660-iis-75-port-change/#findComment-1429677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
