I've just installed EasyPHP onto a server running Windows Server 2003 Standard edition. I want to set up and run a joomla site as an intranet/database. It won't be used for general web use, although having the functionality to access it remotely will be an advantage.
After installing EasyPHP I get the following message:
Apache2 Port (80) is used by (svchost.exe)
I've checked on the web and the general concensus is that I change the port that Apache listens to.I therefore went to c:/Program Files/easyPHP 3.0/conf_files/httpd and edited the section that read Listen 127.0.0.1:80 to Listen 127.0.0.1:8080, saved it then tried again... I still got the same error message.
any idea how i can get round this issue.

Of course... IIS must be using Port 80..... But why when I alter the apache file did it still not work, it still gave the same error regarding Port 80, even though I'd changed it to 8080

I have got the same problem with another program using port 80.
After changing Apache configuration to 8080, EasyPHP continue to test the wrong port (80).
So I have to close the application that use port 80, launch Apache with EasyPHP. The test on port 80 works so Apache start on 8080... Then restart my application that use port 80. Then both Apache and my other application work (Apache on 8080, my application on 80).
I think this bug is easy to correct on the source code of EasyPHP, the correct test has to be done on the right port (not always on port 80 ignoring the configuration of Apache). Can I help for this ?
