Running Pow & XAMPP Simultaneously - php

I have a machine with XAMPP installed and running and I need to install POW to work in a ruby project.
Anyone have any luck running both XAMPP and Pow?

You cannot bind two servers on Port 80 (default of XAMPP apache & default of pow).
You can change the port of the Apache like this: How to change XAMPP apache server port?

Running PHP file on XAMPP, nothing happens

Today I installed xampp v3.2.1 and my Apache and MySQL servers are running as you can see:
I am worried about that red thing I marked down with rectangle.
However I can access to localhost:8080, but when I try to run PHP file (e.g. localhost/hey.php) it just shows blank space.
Your port is conflicting. May be IIS server installed on your computer occupied this port.So, try to disable it.
You can check port using below command in linux.
# netstat -tulpn

XAMPP Apache not starting because of Apache2.4

So I'm starting to use MySQL and phpMyAdmin and I firstly installed Apache2.4. After installing Apache2.4 there were numerous errors so I decided to install XAMPP instead. Now me not thinking through the consequences deleted the Apache2.4 Folder completely along with all its contents.
So now when I start XAMPP, MySQL runs fine but Apache is stuck on "Attempting to start Apache service..." Now when I look at the services tab Apache2.4 is still on my list, I have disabled it but it's made no difference. I have checked through my computer for any remaining Apache2.4 files but I can't find any.
If anyone can help me with this, it would be extremely helpful!
UPDATE: I have restored Apache24 from my recycling bin, should I attempt a uninstall using cmd?
It appears that an instance of apache 2.4 is running on the system. It is probably locking port 80 which the reason why XAMPP apache is unable to start.
Shutdown apache 2.4 from it's control panel, shutdown the service, and ensure there is no "httpd" process running using task manager. If there is kill it.
Once the above are done you should be able to start xampp.
Follow those steps:
1- Uninstall Apache 2.4
2- Clean Windows Registry with a tool like CCleaner
3- Restart Windows
4- Install XAMPP

MAMP - Existing Apache and PHP

I'm very new to Mac OS, and also to MAMP.
So, Mac OS X comes preloaded with Apache web server, PHP, etc. I have a question regarding installing MAMP:
Will the PHP, Apache, etc that is installed with MAMP replace the preloaded ones? Or, will MAMP install a second instance of each of these?
Thanks!
MAMP is self-contained and will be run instead of the pre-installed Apache. You'll have to disable the "Web Sharing" feature in the System Settings to disable the builtin Apache server.
No, it won't replace anything. MAMP is entirely self-contained. All files live exclusively in the /Applications/MAMP folder and the Apache server runs on a different port.
MAMP is self contained. It does not replace the Apache, Mysql or any other thing in the computer or any original settings. It runs these services from its own folder with different port number. The original installation of Apache in MAC OS will continue to run on default port i.e.
Original Apache install will continue to run on
localhost:80
Mamp will install the service on the port port 8888, 8889 for apache, mysql. New MAMP Apache Installation will run on
localhost:8888
Uninstallation of these services from MAMP is simple as deleting the MAMP folder from applications

Installing XAMPP on windows

I was trying to install XAMPP on my windows machine and while it is installing it says installing Apache server failed because port 80 and 443 are already in use.
Since Skype is also using this port, i have uninstalled Skype and started re-installing XAMPP server.
But still after uninstalling Skype i get the same error message when XAMPP server is installing. Could someone has faced this issue before share your ideas with me
Thanks in advance for any help
At a command prompt type
netstat -a -n -o
to see which process is using the ports.
It's probably IIS if you've got that installed.
One way to fix it is to specify non-standard ports for XAMPP to use, such as 8080 and 8443.
Have You IIS Service running?
just check that IIS Service, when it running just stop it, you can stop it from Computer managment > Services

Why wamp server is running on my computer?

I have first all install the Visual studio 2008 on my computer and after that wamp server. I was try to start wamp server but it can start it shows error. please help me what can i do?
Since your IIS server is also running on port 80 and wamp server also tries to run on port 80, your wamp server won't start. Change the port of the wamp server in Apache httpd.conf file to some different port and try starting the wamp server.
See the installation guide on wamp's website. Or try using the ECWamp instead of wamp.
