IIS and XAMPP

HelloWorld · #1 (**permalink**) 07-05-2007, 10:26 PM

Hello, I just installed IIS again on my PC. I'm wondering to what port does it automatically choose if I installed XAMPP at the first place already...? Is there a way to detect which port is it using? Apache uses port 80, and when I typed localhost on my browser, it still takes me to XAMPP homepage... so I guess IIS chooses an alternative, but I don't know how to detect which port is it using...

I'd assume port 80 and that you'd have to adjust it not to use port 80. You could also stop XAMPP and then see if localhost takes you to your IIS server. Oh the pains you're setting yourself up for using MicroSoft products...Good luck surviving!

It defaults to port 80 because that is the HTTP port.

Open the IIS MMC

Computer Management -> Services and Applications -> Internet Information Services -> Default Site -> Properties -> change the TCP port

lol, as any other Web Server applications? Well, unless if I just wrote my own Web Server

Thanx chrishirst!! I changed the port to 90 now, but then when I typed to IE:

http://localhost:90

it didn't bring me to the default Inetpub site

Ok, that was because the Web site was stopped. NOW it's asking me to input a username and password. I tried by using my host administrator's username and password and it didn't work...

I also played around with this thing, and tried to set it up, but still didn't work... sigh......

Create a username & password in Admin Tools (User group only)
unset User must change password
set User cannot change password
set the password to never expire

Navigate to the folder that is used as webroot (usually InetPub\wwwrooot\) set the permissions on this folder to:
uncheck Allow inheritable permission from parent ...
remove Everyone from the user list.
Add Administrators with full control checked.
Add the new user with permissions of
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents
Read
Write
Apply & Ok

Open the IIS MMC and add this username to the Anonymous Access
uncheck the Allow IIS to control password

If your machine is connected to the internet permanently you may want to go into the advanced security on C:\ and deny the IIS username access to
Traverse
create files
Create Folders
Delete Subfolders
Delete
Change Permissions
Take Ownership
