Apache Error

Hello I'm new to EasyPHP and thank you for your software! I wanted an app I could install on a portable external hard drive and I tried about 5 different ones with EasyPHP being the only one that I had success with.

I have an Apache error so a little history first:

I installed EasyPHP on my portable external hard drive so I could take my development project with me and work on it at home and at work without transfering files back and forth.

I initially installed it at home and I noticed that it installed a folder in my C:/startup even though I saved it to my X: drive(portable hard drive) but it worked fine on my laptop at home which, by the way, is running windows XP.

However at work my laptop is running windows 7 and I was getting an error message.
The error was:
Apache cannot be runned : another Web server use the Web port or port is blocked by firewall.

So I turned off my firewall with no success.

So then I tried copying the startup folder to my C:/ drive at work and now I don't get an error message but nothing happens. Admin, LocalWeb, Restart and Pending are all grayed out.

My log files read like:

Apache error..... has nothing for todays date.

Your help is appreciated!

>>Apache cannot be runned : another Web server use the Web port or port is blocked by firewall.

You can open (not disable) your firewall, and check if any application don't use TCP 80 port (with TCPView for example).

The possible solution is linked here: [technology.ohmygoh.com]

I had the same error and I noticed that Skype used the same port as Apache (port 80) which basically stops Apache from starting properly. Close Skype, and that's it!
