wamp troubleshoot

[ddolddolee82]

I installed WAMP5 1.6.1 even though there wasn't any problem while installing the package. I can only start MySQL service not Apache. Anyone has any idea what the problem is?

Just found out IIS and apache use the same port (port 80), and I have IIS installed on my system. I uninstalled IIS and it apache server runs without any problem.

yep..port 80 is the standard port for web servers that aren't secure (eg: http). It is possible to have more than one web server daemon on a different port, but not on the same one.

I use XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) and it's great. I've never had any problems with it.

Can i use another port for IIS or apache? How? I wish to have IIS and apache both installed and running
