XAMMP not working on port 80 on vista???
January 16th, 2008
Well i was extremely perplexed, seeing as i do most of my php development on XAMPP on VISTA i was midly upset to see one day that i was unable to launch my trusty XAMPP as it would just flicker
Apache Started [port 80]
and the switch to
Busy…
After looking at the ports on the command line i kinda figured was going on. Basically its simple, the short of it is….
Start your XAMMP b4 your Skype client!!!!
Now i do not know what the ramifications are for skype or if it even cares, as it may just reassign a new port. But to avoid headaches and heartache, no need for a re-install nothing just follow the order.
