What's using Port 80 ?

Chaps

I'm trying to install a PHP environment on my PC (XP) and it's complaining that it thinks there is another web werver installed on the PC that is using Port 80.

I've not installed anything that I can think of; any way I can find out everything that is using Port 80?

I've tried dis-abling Zonealarm (which is one of the culprits according to the FAQ) but no go.

Sounds like it may be IIS, goto a command prompt and type

telnet localhost 80

You may then need to press return a couple of time and you should get an error message

Ermm - sometimes wish I had learnt a foreign language

Could you try typing localhost into your browser?

Or a couple of utils available for this sort of thing

try here

or at the command prompt type

netstat -a -b

from this you should be able to find the PID of the process using port 80, then task manager to find out what process it is.

Hope this helps

John,

Excellment;

Would things like Skype / MS Messenger use Port 80 ?

[John32]

Simon

MSN does not, do not have any direct experience of Skype - but don't see why a voip application would need to be a web server.

Have you found what's using port 80?

[scooby_simon]

Killed MSN

Killed Skype

Killed my Web cam and

Bingo;

I've now installed the Apache server / Daemon etc....

Thanks very much; leaned summut new tonight

I quite like PHP; you can be sloppy and procedural, or tidy and object-oriented as you wish, and it all works.

BTW, another way of seeing what process uses what port is to run either fport or tcpview.

Did it say "Hello, world"?

Of course it did; would you have expected anything else......?

[Thorburn]

Normally when I do a first test program it doesn't say "Hello World!", normally it say compiler error

[s4dreamer]

PHP is interpreted, so you shouldn't see "compiler error", but I'm betting Simon will have his fair share of 'parse error at line: xxx' over the next few weeks

[Frodo]

I always getting syntax errors, but I put that down to the fact that I can't type. Oh and I never use Option Explicit
