ChrisThanks, doesn't seem to be the answer here. Re-installed Apache, same error message re port 80, otherwise Apache installer reports success. But no short-cuts, etc, anywhere. No error.log file. Turned off computer. Restarted. Used system tray icon for Apache to "Start". Got "The requested operation has failed!" message. No error.log file anywhere.

Installation Question. ------------------------------ I wish to try out PHP and MySQL on my Windows XP PC. I read that Apache is the way to go and one communicates with it as http://localhost/ to pick up HTML, etc on one's own PC. Hence I have downloaded the Apache Windows binaries as apache_2.2.2-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi and installed them. As more or less expected from the FAQ, it won't run because of "Port 80" conflicts. Perhaps with my PC-Cillin Firewall, or some other program.
I had this problem and it worked after rebooting, with no changes to firewall or anything else. cheers, chris
But: 1) I don't want to lose my virus protection/firewall facilities 2) I don't have a domain name for the internet anyway 3) I only want to access the server from my own computer What do I do next? Thanks Peter
