If you have IIS installed, then you have to make sure it is either not running, or that IIS and Apache are listening on different ports. Both webservers assume that they should listen on port 80 which is the default for http web servers. In IIS, you can change the port using the appropriate Service and Application panel in the Computer Management tool. I suggest changing the port to something like 81. Remember to restart the server so that IIS uses the new port. For Apache, modify the line that reads "port 80" in the main configuration portion of the apache/conf/httpd.conf file. Remember to restart the Apache server so that it uses the new port. You can do so in the Services control panel or by typing: net stop apache net start apache from a command line. My Free Advice: (1) If you want to run Apache, then uninstall IIS. It is not necessary to do so, as long as they are on differing ports, but as each requires administration (especially security!) it requires twice the work on your part. (2) Turn IIS off while you are using Apache. You can do so in the appropriate services panel. (3) If my two suggestions are not an option, then change IIS's port to something else, perhaps 81. This would make Apache the default webserver on your machine. (ie. requests to http://yourmachine/ would be served by Apache while requests to http://yourmachine:81/ would be served by IIS.
