    <p>So I installed XAMPP and it worked fine at first (At least I think so. I typed in localhost and got the XAMPP page).</p> <p>I have the files for the site I'm working on in my Dropbox folder so they stay up to date across my computers. I was looking for a way to point XAMPP to my working folder so I didn't have to work in htdocs and then move it back to Dropbox. I found this thread: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1408/make-xampp-apache-serve-file-outside-of-htdocs">Make XAMPP/Apache serve file outside of htdocs</a></p> <p>And I followed cmcculloh's answer on how to set up a virtual host. As the last step in his instructions said, I restarted Apache. Except it won't start. I click Start in the control panel and it says 'Starting apache service...' ....and it sits there</p> <p>After Googling about it I saw tips like disable make sure port 80 is clear and disable anti-virus. And use 'netstat -nab' in a cmd prompt to check if something is using port 80</p> <p>Well AvastSVC.exe is using port 80. What I don't get is why it worked fine after I installed it, with Avast running.... But it wasn't until I tried to restart that suddenly Avast is getting in the way.... So I'm not so sure that that's the problem.</p> <p>Maybe it's something I did when I was trying to set up the virtual host?</p> <p>I just want to test php without uploading to a web server D=</p> <p>Edit: Oh and btw, I closed Avast and made sure the process was gone but it still shows up under 'netstat -nab'. I looked under Services and there is still an Avast service but it won't let me stop it =S</p>
