Read the prompts again on the installer, it says install as a service for port 80 / all users, or install to run as a console only for the current user on port 8080. There should be no reason not to simply active the server. Right after installation it's trivial to change the listen port since the user had another service on port 80. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
