Port 8500 is used by Adobe ColdFusion for its embedded server. Since I plan to use ColdFusion, I guess I will need port 8500, but I don't know for sure yet.

Glad you got it working. According to common usage, port 80 is for a web server and port 3306 is for a MySQL server, so you're on track there with Apache and MySQL. The IANA assignment list has port 8500 listed as "Flight Message Transfer Protocol". I don't know what that is, but perhaps you were using port 8500 for a different purpose (an alternate web server maybe). David J.
