Microsoft HTTPAPI/2.0 use Port 80 – Cannot Start WAMP Apache [duplicate]

Question

Microsoft HTTPAPI/2.0 use Port 80 – Cannot Start WAMP Apache.

how can i stop microsoft httpapi/2.0 ?

Answer 1

I've just ran into this myself... it means something else is using port 80, could be anything from IIS, SQL Reporting Services, even Skype can be found to use port 80. Also check if you have Web Platform Installer installed which can use port 80.

Quick-fix would be to change the apache port in WAMP.
