I created a local WordPress site and in XAMPP set it up with Virtual Hosts so the address test-wp.dev was the home adress. All was working fine and then for some reason I decided to turn off apache, leave mysql on and try the build in server.
So I navigated to C:/xampp/htdocs/test/wordpress/ and ran php -S localhost:8080
It worked fine. However, today I went to go back to test-wp.dev using the Apache server and it keeps redirecting to localhost:8080. I don't want to use the built in server now. I want Apache.
Where do I "unbind this" or free up that port or whatever. I don't want to have to run the built in server for that folder anymore.
Thanks.

I've installed in my remote server, via Softaculous, Laravel 8.
In order to access directly to the APP, just like when running php artisan serve in my local machine, in CPanel i defined the document root to the folder Laravel\public.
Everything works exactly as it should! I type the address (ex: myDomain.com) and the App runs perfectly...
However i don't want to being always typing php artisan serve while developing, so i tried to replicate the cpanel struture in my local machine.
To achive thar, i've created a virtualhost in XAMPP httpd-vhosts.conf pointing to the folder Laravel\public, and created the host file in windows system, like always.
When accessing the location in my local machine the first page renders perfectly, but as soon as i make a request for a new view, by example:
Route::get('/posts', function () {
return view('posts.index');
});
I get a "Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server" error! I'm sure is not a coding error because the same code runs flawlessly in remote server.
Which technique is used by cpanel to allow laravel to work directly from \public folder without necessity to initiate anything and how to replicate that in local development machine?
Well...
After much reading, backs and forwards, i believe this behavior depends on the way Apache its served by XAMPP.
So, the solution i adopted was change my local development tool to LARAGON.
Everything worked just fine with a lot of new features that don´t exist in XAMPP.
I was working on my web-application for a long time now, and someone suggested that I shouldn't be using XAMPP for connecting with my database, as this will only work with the local computer. So I have uninstalled XAMPP from my computer and downloaded PHP 7.4.8 under C:\php directory!
Suddenly the IIS Manager won't listen on localhost. I thought this might be my project so I have created a new project under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website2 which has three files:
iisstart.htm
iisstart.png
web.config
Even though the other project is disabled, and the new one enabled. the browser returns the following error (I have tried both port:80 and port:8080 just to make sure that this is not the issue!):
This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
By this error I have few questions to ask!
How to ensure that IIS Manager works okay?
Even though I have deleted XAMPP the Apache Tomcat 8.0.27 is still installed on my computer. Should I delete that?
How to make the default app work again?
I'm new to web development.
I installed Apache and PHP separately, not using XAMPP. Then I notice that after I create a PHP project, I could put it into htdocs folder and launch httpd from Apache and working fine. But if I use php -S localhost:80 -t my_folder, no matter which port I'm using, I can't access it via any browser or cURL.
My computer is running Windows 10 with Anniversary update and ZoneAlarm. I'm not quite sure if these information are related. Please let me know if I need to provide more information to identify the problem.
Thanks!
I am new to alot of things with WAMP/XAMPP, so i followed a few tutorials online, which required me to go to localhost/phpmyadmin. But every time i open the "webisite" i get an Error 404. As far as i know, no ports are blocked for either of the programs. when i start both apache and mysql on XAMPP it is highlighted green, and the ports are
Apache : 80, 443
MySQL : 3306
When i go to the WAMP icon, and test the port for Apache it says:
your port 80 is actually used by :
Server: Apache/2.4.12 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.01l PHP/5.6.8
which in my eyes isn't a problem.
I installed XAMPP for limesurveys, which i want to host locally. So everytime i open localhost in my browser it loads a website where i can choose from surveys. This list is obviously empty, but the important information is, THAT the webisite is available. now when i try open localhost/phpmyadmin i get a website telling me about Error 404 and stuff. I have checked, that phpmyadmin is installed when i installed WAMP, and also, that the alias in C:/wamp/alias/phpmyadmin.conf directs to the correct folder C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/. What im wondering is, why i cant open phpmyadmin...
If you have installed both xampp and Wamp on your machine try uninstalling one and just work with either one, I would recommend xampp. Make sure you move all your work files from htdocs or www, if your are uninstalling xampp or wamp respectively. Then try turning apache and mysql on and see if it works.
Good luck!
You can of course keep both XAMPP and WAMP running together keeping in mind that you have changed the default ports for either of it to some other ports rather than 80,443 and 3306, but sometimes it could create conflict as when you install some other third party softwares or enable certain services that run on port 80,443,3306.
The best alternative here would be to install one of the servers inside a virtual machine with network configured as "host-only-adapter" so that from the base machine you could access XAMPP/WAMP installed on the virtual machine by just pointing the ip-address of the virtual machine through a web-browser.
or,
If you want to run both XAMPP and WAMP together on the same machine but access only one of the servers at a time then you could go ahead installing both of them one after another. But, keep in mind that before installing the other server you have to completely stop all the services running from the XAMPP or WAMP control panel then quit the application. After this step you can go ahead installing the other server without changing any configurations or port numbers. This is because in this case we assumed that only one of the servers would be accessed at a time. Hence, before launching the other server one has to completely quit the application that is running currently by stopping all of it's services. If skype is installed then one has to change the default incoming connection ports to other than port 80 and 443.
Like mentioned above, if at all the intention is to access both servers up and running concurrently then taking advantage of a virtual machine would be the best to avoid conflicts and a long-term troubleshoots eventually.
If you messed up changing ports and config files then you could end up with the following error while trying to access phpmyadmin from XAMPP control panel:
**mysql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings. xampp**
note: while launching the servers , run it as administrator else some services will not start properly.
"I TRIED INSTALLING BOTH XAMPP AND WAMP ON WINDOWS 10 AS SUCH AS POINTED BY MANY THREADS I CHANGED THE DEFAULT PORTS FOR MYSQL & APACHE XAMPP AS IT WOULD CONFLICT WITH WAMP ALREADY INSTALLED ONLY ENDING UP UNABLE TO ACCESS PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. THEN REINSTALLED XAMPP WITHOUT CHANGING ANY CONFIGS OR PORTS. STOP THE WAMP SERVICES, QUIT THE APP AND THEN LAUNCH PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. AT LAST IT WORKED!. THE PROCESS LOOKS SHORT THOUGH WHEN IN REALITY IT TOOK ME COUNTLESS HOURS AND PAIN RESEARCHING ON THE WEB AND TESTING FOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION UNTILL I CAME UP WITH THIS."
Hopes, this quick tips and guides would be helpful.
Stop all IIS services and Skype with generally use the same ports.
i have been using mysql 5.1 but it has previously worked properly but yesterday my computer crashed and i was forced to format the machine. i have installed the server and now i cannot access the phpadmin page and even the localhost page is not accessible meaning i cannot access my folders under the http format what could be the problem? I use kersperskey as my anti-virus.
If you can't access localhost, that means your web server is not running. You can't access phpMyAdmin, which is a PHP script that runs through a web server, if the web server is not running.
When you format your machine, you basically delete the web server and mysql and everything. You need to install them again.
