XAMPP doesn't bind to port after installation - windows-7

I have successfully installed the latest version of XAMPP on Windows 7 but when I try to run XAMPP it displays an error message and instantly closes and nothing happens!
Here is a screenshot:
What do I need to do to run XAMPP?

You have to disable the http.sys service manually via the registry:
Launch RegEdit
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP
Add a new DWORD (32-bit) value
Name it ‘NoRun’ not including the quotes
Double click the new property
In the Value data field type ’1′ not including quotes and click OK
Re-boot your computer
You should now find that Apache will start on port 80!
Its fine! now just open localhost or 127.0.0.1 in a browser. and tell if you dont see the welcome page

apache and mysql start button are disabled in xampp control panel

When I install xampp its working fine. But once after restart/shutdown, It giving this error.
[Apache] Problem detected: Apache not found.
[Apache] Disbling apache buttons
[Apache] Run this program from your apache root directory.
[mysql] Problem detected: mysql not found
[mysql] Diabling mysql buttons
[mysql] Run this program from your apache root directory.
Xampp version: xampp-win32-1-8-3-4-VC11-installer
System configuration: windows 7 32 bit
Note: while install it shows to disable the UAC.
Here is the image:
Try installing as admin and disable your anti virus when installing, you can also disable UAC as well. And always run as Admin when launching by right clicking the .exe and go properties and set "Run as Administrator"
Find the httpd.exe in the specified route.
C:\xampp\apache\bin
first check your xampp folder where apche/bin and mysql/bin is available or not.if it is not available then search it into your drive and put the xampp folder as it is.And last restart your xampp control panel and start the apache and mysql server.
This happened to me yesterday after a crash. It was saying Tomcat was not found, and the buttons were disabled. First thing I checked was if Tomcat was in the Xampp directory and could be started manually. It could, so I started looking for configuration errors. I clicked the config button at the top, then service and port settings, and then the Tomcat tab. I saw immediately that Xampp was looking for Tomcat 7, and that was the problem. I had updated to 8 a long time ago and I guess when the system crashed, Xampp reverted to the default config. I changed that to 8, and restarted Xampp. Problem solved, but the buttons were still disabled. I then discovered that in the xampp-control.ini file, under the ServiceNames section, it said Tomcat=Tomcat7. I changed that to Tomcat8 and restarted Xampp, and the buttons were working again. I would imagine it would be a similar procedure for any of the other modules not being detected. I hope this helps someone.
you placed xampp control on the desktop for a quick start this is the main reason for disabled apache and MySQL button. try to start from install xampp folder.

Why and how to fix? IIS Express "The specified port is in use"

We know a random port number is assigned to a web application in Visual Studio. It works fine in my office desktop. But when I pull the code onto my laptop (from VisualStudio.com) and run the web app. I got a message, saying,
The specified port is in use
Port 10360 is already being used by another application.
Recommendations
Try switching to port other than 10360 and higher than 1024.
Stop the application that is using port 10360.
I can fix it using Recommendation #1 by changing the port into something else like 13333. But I am very curious what happened to port 10360. How can I check what application is using port 10360? How can I stop that application?
I had a similar issue running Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10.
Some solutions that worked for others seemed to include:
Changing the application port number.
Have Visual studio automatically assign a port number each time the application start.
Restart Visual Studio
Restart the computer.
Unfortunately, none of these solutions worked for me, assigning another port number did work but was not an acceptable solution as it was important for my application to run on a specified port.
The Solution
First I ran the command:
netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=::
from an elevated command-line process. This solved the initial error, when attempting to run the application I no longer got the "port in use" error, instead, I now got an error stating the application was unable to bind to the port because administrative privileges were required. (although I was running Visual Studio as administrator)
The second error was caused by Hyper-V that adds ports to the Port Exclusion Range, the port my application uses was in one of these exclusion ranges.
You can view these ports by running the following command: netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
To solve this second error:
Disable Hyper-V: Control Panel-> Programs and Features-> Turn Windows features on or off. Untick Hyper-V
Restart the computer.
Add the port you are using to the port exclusion range: netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=50403 numberofports=1 store=persistent
Reenable Hyper-V
Restart the computer
From here everything worked perfectly.
i solve the problem this way...
File -> Open -> Web Site...
After that select Local IIS under IIS Express Site
remove the unwanted project.
hope this help.
change it in solution (right Click) -> property -> web tab
Click Create Virtual Directory (in front of project Url textbox)
This was haunting me for over a year!
For me,
no website was running iin IIS Express
nothing was using the port as determined by running: netstat -ano at the command line.
The solution was to run
netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=::
from the command line.

SIMPLE SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME: (Credits to combination of other's answers)
**My System Info:**
Windows 10 build : 1809
IIS Version : 10.0.17763.1
Hyper-V : Enabled
Docker : Installed - 2.3.0.2 (45183)
Check for blocked ports range in CMD (admin)
>> netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
(Sample output):
Protocol tcp Port Exclusion Ranges
Start Port End Port
---------- --------
49696 49795 (SEE HERE, 49796 to 49895 is not blocked)
49896 49995
... list goes on ...
Open Visual Studio and Navigate to > Project > Properties > Web > Servers > Project Url
Use the Port that is not blocked.
(Sample port):
http://localhost:49796/
Restart Visual Studio (if required)
Have a coffee and share love. (required) :)
I had the same problem, but no proccess appeared neither in netstat nor in resmon.
What solved the problem for me was closing all the open browser windows.
You're looking for netstat.
Open an administrative command shell and run
netstat -aob
And look for port 10360. It'll show you what executable opened the port and what PID to look up in Task Manager. (Actually, run netstat -? in an unprivileged shell first, because I don't approve of blindly running anything you don't understand, especially in a privileged context.)
Here's what the switches do:
-a shows all connections or open ports, not just active ones - the port you want is probably listening, not active.
-o shows the owning PID of the connection or port, so you can find the process in Task Manager's Processes tab. (You might need to add the PID column in Task Manager. View->Select Columns)
-b shows the binary involved in opening the connection or port. This is the one that requires elevated access.
The cause of this issue in my own case is a bit different. Everything was working fine until I started docker to do some other stuff. Starting docker, in one way or the other, added some new ranges of ports to the Port Exclusion Ranges. What to do:
Open command prompt (As an administrator)
run: netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp (You should see the port your application is using in the excluded port ranges)
run: net stop winnat
run: netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp (by this time, the Administered port exclusions ranges should reduce)
run net start winnat.
If the problem was caused by Windows NAT Driver (winnat), then you should be good by now.
Close the VS
Start again - right click and run as admin
Run your project again.
Running visual studio in administrative mode solved my issue
Delete the .sln file, if you have one.
Open the file C:\Users\NN\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config
Locate the problematic site in configuration/system.applicationHost/sites and delete the whole site section.
"Open Web Site.." from Visual Studio and the project will be given a random new port.
For me the "The specified port is in use" error is usually fixed (well actually worked arround) by stopping the "Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" (SharedAccess) and the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" (W3SVC) service.
After the project / ISS Express is started the stopped services can be started again without issues.
Whenever i receive the error the port (in the 50000 range) is definitely not in use (checked with netstat & tcpview).
It would be nice if Microsoft did some integration testing of Visual Studio / IIS Express along side with HyperV and the "normal" IIS Service OR gave some guidance on which port ranges to use for VS / IIS Express (and which ports to avoid).
Visual studio 2015
Close all the files you have open inside Visual studio.
Then close application and exit Visual Studio.
Open Visual Studio and it should successfully run.
I hope this helps.
netstat didn't show anything already using the port
netstat -ano | findstr <your port number> showed nothing for me. I found out that port was excluded using this command to see what ranges are reserved by something else:
netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
You can try to unblock the range from the start port for a number of ports (need Command Prompt with Administrator):
netsh int ip delete excludedportrange protocol=tcp numberofports=<number of ports> startport=<start port>
However, in my case I couldn't unblock the range, I just got "Access is denied", so I ended up having to pick another port for my site.
My original solution: The only thing that worked was deleting the .vs folder in the solution folder. (I've since found you can just delete the .vs/config/applicationhost.config instead to avoid losing so many settings).
If netstat doesn't show anything, try a reboot.
For me, nothing appeared in netstat for my port. I tried closing Google Chrome browser windows as #Clangon and #J.T. Taylor suggested, but to no avail.
In the end a system reboot worked, however, so I can only assume that something else was secretly holding the port open. Or perhaps it just took longer than I was prepared to wait for the ports to be released after Chrome shut down.
For me, close all application and restart the computer.
When window start, Open Visual studio first, then open browser and click run(F5).
Now it works. I don't know why.
Open Task Manager and Just Close all processes of 'IIS Express System Tray' and 'IIS Express Worker Process' and Re-run the Project
For me, the Google Chrome browser was the process which was using the port. Even after I closed Chrome, I found that the process still persisted (I allow Chrome to "run in background" so that I can receive desktop notifications). I went into Task Manager, and killed the Chrome browser process, and then started my web application, it worked like a charm.
Open your csproj with for example Notepad ++ and scroll down to DevelopmentServerPort. Change it to something else as long as it's above 1024 like rekommended (so for example 22312). Also change the IISUrl to http://localhost:22312/. Save your changes and restart the project.
In my case there was no application using specified port and elevated running of Visual Studio didn't help either.
What worked for me is to reinstall IIS Express and than restart computer.
For me it was an orphaned VBCSCompiler task from a previous run, that didn't shut down and was somehow interfering. Killing that task solved it.
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/31482/vbcscompiler-does-not-shut-down.html
You need to configre this parameter by running the following in the administrative command prompt:
netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=::
click on the notification present on bottom of the task bar if you receiving the error like port in use then select the iiss icon right click then click on exit ,it work like charm for me
I had same error showing up. I had my web service set as an application in IIS and I fixed it by:
Right-click on my WebService project inside my solution > Properties > Web > Under 'Servers' change from IIS Express to Local IIS (it will automatically create a Virtual Directory which is what you want)
When Port xxxx is already being used, there's always a PID (Process Id) elaborated with the error. Simply go to the task manager on the machine you are running the application, click on details, and you will identify what the other application is. You can then decide whether you want to end that process or not
Just to add to this, I had the full IIS feature turned on for one of my machines and it seemed to cause this to happen intermittently.
I also got random complaints about needing Admin rights to bind sites after a while, I assume that somehow it was looking at the full IIS config (Which does require admin as it's not a per-user file).
If you are stuck and nothing else is helping (and you don't want to just choose another port) then check you have removed this if it is present.
FWIW, I tried tons of these options and I didn't get anywhere. Then I realized I had installed VMWare Player just before the issue started. I uninstalled it, and this error went away.
I'm sure there's some way to make them coexist, but I don't really need Player so I just removed it. If you've tried all kinds of stuff and it's not working consider looking through any programs you've installed recently (especially those that deal with network adapters?) and see if that gets you anywhere.
In Visual Studio 2017, select Project/Properties and then select the Web option. In the IIS section next to the default project URL click Create Virtual Directory. This solved the problem for me. I think in my case the default project Virtual Directory had been corrupted in some way following a debugging session.
For me only thing worked is removing the element containing my application name, path and binding info under
</system.applicationHost> element in
applicationhost file.
To be found under C:\Users\yourUsername\Documents\IISExpress\config
Closed the the solution , deleted the bad site element , save the applicationhost file and close.
Reopen the application/Website from Visual studio using Admin rights - Rebuilt and Run. Voila... A new port is auto assigned to your application which solves the purpose.
Can also be verified without running-- check the Properties window for the solution and URL will have new port number.
In my case I got also this issue from my ASP Core 3.1 projets.
I thing that for some reason visual studio ignore the IP/Port setting in the project property and start it on 5000 and 5001. I discovered this while attempting to start my Core 3.1 projects from prompt using dotnet run
And this post helped me
How to specify the port an ASP.NET Core application is hosted on?
It suggest to
Specify the port in the appsettings.json or maybe appsettings.development.json. (see lower)
Close Visual Studio
Delete /.vs, /bin, /obj folders
Restart Visual Studio.
appsettings.json / appsettings.development.json content
{
/***************************

I am having problems starting Xampp

Xampp will not start up, the console pops up saying starting Xampp etc. then disappears. However The Xampp control console does not pop up, when i click on it it says its already running but I cant open it. When I type in local host in IE I get the 404 error message not found. I made sure to give Xampp access to network. Why can't I start up Xampp?
Is 80 port open? Skype use this port by default.
I know may be late .. but i can help you when this prob again arises .
With skype
1. take tools in skype and take connection options.
2. uncheck the "use port number 80"
3. also change use use port for incoming calls to any other.
FOR XAMPP
1. do one thing restart your system
2. take command prompt .
3. type netstat -ao
4. then you can get the PID for the port number 80.(remember this PID)
5 take task manager, click on services
6. find the PID which you have found in the command prompt ealier for port number 80
7. right click on it and stop the service.
Now you can take the xampp control panel and run apache and sql.. the issues will be solved.

"Unable to create process ...\project1.exe" when debugging a Win64 apps in Windows 8

I am using Delphi XE4 Update 1. When I build and run a simple VCL application compiled with Win64 platform on Windows 8. I encountered an error:
"Unable to create process: ...\project1.exe"
However, it works if I run the project1.exe without debugging.
I have tried to figure out what happens but failed to rectify the problem.
I have tried these:
Uninstall and reinstall XE4
I run C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\11.0\bin\dbkw64_18_0.exe and it flash a while and close without any errors. Other Window 8 machine will run the program and stay in the desktop.
I reset Window 8 Firewall rules. When I run the app in debugger, it didn't prompt me the usual firewall rules dialog.
I add a Firewall rules for dbkw64_18_0.exe and but it doesn't work
When I attempt to debug the app with Win64 platform, a new process rmtdbg180.exe is created. Each attempt to start the app in debugger will create a new rmtdbg180.exe process. This doesn't happen on other Windows 8 machine.
Anyone has ideas what happen to my machine?
May be you checked "Run this program as an Administrator" in Executable File Properties menu Compatibility tab.
Uncheck this
You probably blocked bds.exe in your firewall. To debug 64bit application you must allow bds.exe to connect to the internet, or at least to local network.
Just encountered this issue with Berlin and was able to resolve it by going to the Bin64 folder and resetting the security settings through the advanced settings.
Save and close Delphi then restart it with Run As Administrator. It worked for me.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin folder and find bds.exe than click on right button and select run as administrator. It works properly.
Get full access in the security tab for the current user to the path where the project files are located. For instance, set the necessary privileges for the top directory and then inherit them for all deeper paths. There is no need to run RAD with administrator rights.
RSP-29884
The debugger fails to connect to the port 64448 because the port is in the excluded ports list. To check the list execute:
netsh int ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
To flush this list stop and restart the winnat service.
Run as Admin: net stop winnat and net start winnat
Now recheck the list with netsh.
Debug works again.
In my case, following RSP-29884 comments, the problem has been solved running the following command line.
netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=64448 numberofports=1

Why does my XAMPP control panel crash every time I stop apache?

I am trying to enable some extensions in my php. If I want to initiate the changes I have to reset the apache server in XAMPP. But I just keep getting a window that says xampp-control.exe has stopped working and gives me options:
Debug Program
Close Program
Check Online for a Solution and Close Program
No matter which option I choose it will then give me this Application Error:
Exception EAccess in modele 'xampp-control.exe' at 001ABEFE. Access Violation at address 005ABEFE in module 'xampp-control.exe'. Read of address 00000042. I have read that I should just install a WAMPP server. Is there a way I can successfully reset the Apache Server?
Possible workarounds are listed on XAMPP's forum here
There are some possible workarounds:
Enable back the write privileges and to be aware of this potential issue
Modify the ini file with an editor the properties you need or
To run the XAMP Control panel as administrator
Running it as administrator worked for me.
