I wanted to install Apache Http Server but after the installation, it gave error that it is not able to run on port 80 as it was already being used by some other application. Using the following procedure, I came to know that Skype is using port 80 and its not IIS that I had initially thought of.
Procedure to find which application is using port 80:
- Open command prompt using "cmd" on Run window
- Type - netstat -ano findstr '80' - If this command does not yield anything use command - netstat -o
- It will give you a list of in which last column would contain the process id that is using the port. Normally you get something like this when you run this command -
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID
TCP pcx61s:http localhost:3376 ESTABLISHED 5288 - Thus now you know that process id - 5288 is using your port 80.
- Open windows Task Manager and see which application has the process id. By default, the process id column is not visible in Task manager. You can add the column using Windows Task Manager >> View >> Select Columns and select PID (Process Identifier) checkbox and click OK.
