    Ok so things seem on my computer to be changing without me doing it!

    anyway something is using port 80 but I can't figure out what!
    I check processes that are running but nothing that would use port 80
    no skype, disabled IIS

    even tried some cmd commands but nothing!

    any ideas on what it could be?

    Some Trojans and viruses use port 80... Some 3rd party clients use port 80, on windows older versions the "indexer" service used port 80 ...

    Type in http://localhost Or http://127.0.0.1 see if anything loads in the browser if not...


    Use the netstat command... Use netstat /? To open the help menu, see what switch to use to show the executable ( I forget exactly what switch )...

    Should then show you what program is using port 80.

    You didn't use the switch for the executable...

    It should say something like

    Explorer.exe port 80 tcp

    I'm on a phone so don't have dos available

    I think it's something like netstat -p ( per protocol )... I know one of the switches shows which program is using it....

    I had this problem for a while. It ended up being a combination of IIS running, Skype (which I just changed the port for) and MySQL. Got rid of IIS, the extra MySQL and changed the Skype port. No problems after that.

    doing netstat -an > c:\netstat.txt will output the file to the c drive... helps me sometimes.

    That means the config is pointed at a folder that doesn't have any files in it.

    If I'm not mistaken, you can only configure WAMP to use 1 port, regardless of what port you assign it, if you have it configured to respond to port 8080, then port 80 is not going to respond until you build a different config for apache.

    You should probably read the documentation for apache to see how to coding multiple ports.

    I only use it for testing so 1 port is fine.

    I use DNS bindings and host headers on my real servers.

    I had a similar problem. Skype was using the same port. Change the port on WAMP and everything should be fine. Hopefully, you've gotten this sorted already?
