The following is from the Apache install instructions. It must therefore be possible to get Apache to listen to port 8080. I did the set up as indicated. Brian For whom to install Apache Select for All Users, on Port 80, as a Service - Recommended if you'd like your new Apache to listen at port 80 for incoming traffic. It will run as a service (that is, Apache will run even if no one is logged in on the server at the moment) Select only for the Current User, on Port 8080, when started Manually if you'd like to install Apache for your personal experimenting or if you already have another WWW server running on port 80.

Incoming HTTP requests, by default, come on port 80. So nothing on your computer is listening on port 80. So - nothing can tell that request to go to apache. Either manually type localhost:8080, or have Apache listen on port 80. >Question two - when I hit the menu item 'Edit the Apache httpd configuration >file I get a windows error message that windows cannot open this file.
