WampServer

Hello all -

I need help with WAMP Server. I am interest in learning PHP and first time with WAMP. I installed WAMP already and some how when I start the services, there is only one service is running that is MySQL. When i click on the Apache, I don't have any option of start or stop the service for this one. When I click on Install the sevice for Apache, it give me the following error:

Your port 80 is actully used by:
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1
Cannot install the Apache service, please this application and try again.
Press Enter to exit ...

Does anyone has any idea what that mean and what I should do? Thank you in advance.

IIS is a webserver, so it uses the same port as apache. you need to make sure IIS is not running or apache will not start.

If you don't know what IIS is, actually, you don't need it. Just delete it by following those steps below:

- Go to Control Panel
- Click Add or Remove programs
- Click Add/Remove Windows Components
- Uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)
- OK.

Maybe, you should reinstall WAMP.

Hope this help.

I'm having the same problem.
I don't have IIS installed & if i test port 80 it says it's not in use.

Latest WAMP, Win XP.

To stop IIS interfering with WAMP, just go to the DOS promp (Start -> Run -> type in "cmd" and type in the following:
iisreset /stop

To start IIS again, type in:
iisreset /start
