The above link shows you how to change the IIS port bindings. I changed them to port 8585 which allowed Apache to start flawlessly. Now how to change windows remote management https port to other than 443… that’s what I would like to know.

Fred’s answer was full of good tips. Using his procedure, I found that in my case it was TeamViewer that was hogging port 80. Bad since that’s the remote admin tool I was using at the time. (I use RDP from my Mac for the other Windows machines… but they run XP and this machine runs Windows Home “Premium” which doesn’t support RDP.

Well, actually it does… you can use this “home” version of Windows to control other computers via RDP, but no one can support you by controlling yours using RDP. Typical backwards M$ thinking I guess. (And just one of a number of crippled features in “Home Premium” Microsoft neglects to mention on their edition comparison charts.)

Comment #26 by Fred (which I have quoted below) is absolutely awesome. It sums up all reasons that are discussed in this thread, plus more !
Brilliant job Fred ! Thank you very much.

- Oh! and … for me, it was ‘World Wide Web Publishing Service’ that caused the problem.

Fred :
1. Get pid that is listening port 80: netstat -nao | find “:80″
2. Open task manager, go to processes tab and check “PID” on menu/view/Select Columns…. then you can find out the progress with that pid.
3. If it is a normal application or IIS, just disable or uninstall it.
4. If it is System progress(PID 4), you need to disable HTTP.sys driver which is started on demand by other service, such as Windows Remote Management/Print Spooler on Windows 2008 or Windows 7. there is two way to disable it:
a.
1) Go to device manager, select “show hidden devices” from menu/view, go to “Non-Plug and Play Driver”/HTTP, double click it to disable it (and disable or manual some services depended on it).
2) Reboot and use netstat -nao | find “:80″ to check no 80 is used.
b.
1) Launch RegEdit
2) Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP
3) Change the value of ’start’ to 4 (disabled)
4) Re-boot your computer

Thanks, mine also was set to “disabled” and causing me all sorts of headaches. So far so good with this fix.

Didn’t work for me. iPad and the WNR2000 stop working together after 24 hours or so. The iPad won’t get DHCP from the router after waking up.

@David I have the same issue with SQL server 2008, and you where right about sql server was using port 80, it`s been changed tu use port 8080. Apache now starts without complainings on por 80.
