How to Solve Port 80 Problems When Running Apache on Windows

After Upgrading to Windows 10. My Apache just wont work; wasted hours searching through internet. And I found this solution.

The following error appeared in the Application Event Viewer (Administrative Tools):

The Apache service named reported the following error:

>>> (OS 10013) An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

:make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80.

Another application was hogging port 80.

The Obvious Candidates

There are a number of well-known Windows programs which use port 80:

IIS

The most likely culprit is Microsoft Internet Information Server. You can stop the service from the command line on

Windows 7/Vista:

net stop was /y

or XP:

net stop iisadmin /y

or Windows 10:

You can disable it by going to Programs and Features. Click on Turn Windows features on or off. Uncheck Internet Information Services and also Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core if it is checked. Click OK to remove those applications.

SQL Server Reporting Services

SSRS can remain active even if you uninstall SQL Server. To stop the service:

Right Click My Computer

Click Manage

Click Services and Applications

Open SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Select “SQL Server Services” in the left-hand pane.

Double-click “SQL Server Reporting Services”.

Hit Stop.

Switch to the Service tab and set the Start Mode to “Manual”.

Skype

Irritatingly, Skype can switch to port 80. To disable it, select Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection then uncheck “Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections”.

What’s Using Port 80?

Further detective work is necessary if IIS, SSRS and Skype are not to blame. Enter the following on the command line:

netstat -ao

The active TCP addresses and ports will be listed — locate the line with local address “0.0.0.0:80″ and note the PID value.

Now right-click the task bar and select Start Task Manager. Navigate to the Processes tab and, if necessary, click View > Select Columns… to ensure “PID (Process Identifier)” is checked. You can now locate the PID you noted above. The description and properties should help you determine which application is using the port.

The Task Manager allows you to kill the process, but be a little wary about doing that — especially if it’s “NT Kernel & System”.

Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0

NT Kernel & System is an essential service. Stopping it will probably stop Windows in a blue-screeny-like way.

Install Telnet on Windows 10:

Open cmd with  admin rights.

Enter the command: 

dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient

Checking whats using up Port 80.Enter the following at the command line:

telnet 127.0.0.1 80

If you’re faced with a blank screen, type “GET” and hit return. The chances are, you’ll see a line stating that Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 is listening on port 80.

If that’s the case, open Services from Administrative Tools and locate “Web Deployment Agent Service”. Stop the service and set it’s startup type to “Manual”.

The Web Deployment Agent Service is deployed with WebMatrix and was the cause of my woes. It may also be distributed with other applications installed using Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer.

That caused me a few frustrating hours so I hope it solves your Apache or WAMP start-up problems.

MGS V PHANTOM PAIN 3DM SAVES

MGS Phantom Pain is a great game with great replay value. You can play it several times and still find a new way to end the mission. Its a masterpiece of stealth action. So if you like the game please support the developers by buying the game.

THE PROBLEM:

Thanks to 3DM  for the crack. But the 3DM Saves had a problem in PC where the game could not save. i.e every time I exit the game and started it I had to play from the beginning. I wasted 7 hrs of my first gameplay like this.


SOLUTION:

I searched a lot and came up with this solution.

1. First follow all the instructions in the 3DM instructions in the crack folder. 
2. Open the game for first time using LauncherMGSTPPTimeZones provided in the crack.
3. Start the Game and Close it.
4. Open your Installed Directory in my case D:\Games\Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain
5. You cant change the read-only status of the 3DM folder. So you have to do this. 
6. Right Click on mgsvtpp.exe and go to its Properties.
7. Now click the Security tab.
8. Now click the Edit button.
9.  Now check the Full Control box for every User or only for your User name.(I gave for all user). 
10. Click Apply. 
11. Now Start the Game using mgsvtpp.exe

Your game paly will be saved. ENJOY.

WARNING: If you launch again using LauncherMGSTPPTimeZones all your saved game will be replaced with default 3DM saves.

If you are stuck at white screen while launch just change your timezone to Beijing in Time Zone settings.
