Free up "system pid 4 port 80" on windows
Raw
system
I have XAMPP installed locally but I couldn't let apache run on the default port 80. Although, there's a way we can change the port to something like 8080 or 81. But I want my Apache server to run on port 80.
The System Process has PID of 4 which means you need to disable the HTTP.sys driver which is started on demand by another service, such as Windows Remote Management or Print Spooler on Windows 7 or 2008.
To do this, you need to run the following in the command prompt with an elevated Administrator priveleges.
netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=0.0.0.0
