Apache not running - port 80 in use....

[John L]

Uniserver 5.3

installed in C:\UniServer\

Windows XP

 

Using UniTray, the Apache server will not start. (MySQL does).

Using the server status utility (attached pic) the essence is:

"Apache Port = 80 In use by another program"

 

I have run netstat and and nothing is using Port 80.

I have tried using the normal and service options.

No other versions of apache are running

A restart of XP and running immediately after the restart makes no difference

 

I have not tried using the "increment port number" utility because:

- I don't know how to set it back again later

- why should I when port 80 should have been free

 

Help - any ideas?

Port detection uses the following command: netstat -anp tcp

C:\ >netstat -anp tcp
Active Connections
 Proto  Local Address		  Foreign Address		State
 TCP	0.0.0.0:80			 0.0.0.0:0			  LISTENING
 TCP	0.0.0.0:135			0.0.0.0:0			  LISTENING
 TCP	0.0.0.0:445			0.0.0.0:0			  LISTENING
 TCP	0.0.0.0:3306		   0.0.0.0:0			  LISTENING
 TCP	127.0.0.1:1026		 0.0.0.0:0			  LISTENING

Apache server will not run if Local Address is active for example “:80”

Thanks for the help.

 

Skype was the problem. Exiting the skype system tray icon cured it and uniserver now works nicely.

 

All I need to do now is to put skype elsewhere while I get into apache config for my development sites.
