I have falled down on the first hurdle and cannot get the XAMP installation bit to work the errors I had during the setup were

Port 80 already in use
Port 3306 already in use

I have uninstalled XAMPP and am ready to start again - I am not a techie, but a complete beginner, and I would really appreciate an idiots guide to how to get XAMPP up and running correctly, as Im itching to get going with Joomla.

By the way I do not have skype installed (I read somewhere this might be causing the problem).

Thanks

Hi. I've surfed the net all afternoon trying to find solutions.

I can't establish what is using port 80 using the netstat -o cmd prompt - port 80 isnt listed, althought interestingly enough there is a port 10080 - is this the same thing?

Really am at a loss as to what to do now and am ready to give up.

Is there something I can use other than XAMPP to finally get up and running with Joomla?

You don't have IIS running on your PC do you? You can change the port that XAMPP is configured to use - this example uses 8080:
Quote:
C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf:

* Search for “Listen 80″, change to “Listen 8080″
* Search for “ServerName localhost:80″, change to “ServerName localhost:8080″

The only reason port 80 would be in use is if some other app/web server was running.

This command should tell you what: netstat -anbp TCP
-a means all
-n means numeric format
-b means list the command that's got the port
-p TCP means only show TCP connections (port 80 is TCP).

You want see which line looks like this:
Code:
  Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State           PID
  TCP    0.0.0.0:80             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1724
  [httpd.exe]

which in this case shows that httpd.exe has port 80 open (the local address of 0.0.0.0:80 means port 80 on this machine).

Once you have that you can use Task Manager to find that process and hopefully track it down.

Hi

Thanks for all this. After a lot of sweating I finally got it working.

I found a website that said to IGNORE the message saying port 80 in use, and it showed me how to switch to the correct settings in xampp - finally the http page showed up correctly. I do not know how this worked, but it does, and I am happy!



Thanks again for your support.

... You're running skype, aren't you? By default Skype is set to take over port 80 and 443. Open up the options in Skype and under Advanced -> Connections untick "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections"

Sorted!
