apache port error

It won’t let me use port 80. What do I do?

Do you install on Linux or WIndows ? You need to start the installer as root/administrator to use port 80. Do you have any other stack/server running on this port ?

i use windows 7 and i noit running other stacks yet on the latop

Hi,

You can specify a different port, 81 for example. Other applications like Skype uses the port 80 so it is not necessary that there are other BitNami Stack installed.

I have the same problem, but am using OSX V 10.6.5. I cleaned the safari cache and after wards wanted to access it using :http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-admin
The page failed to open. I have closed down skype and have no other apps open except Safari.

Bitnami is great, but I don’t know much about a lInux setup to know how to restart bitnami. PLease advise!

Cheers

Hi,

Try to open a Terminal and run the following command:

$ cd /Applications/wordpress-(version)
$ ./ctlscript.sh start

I hope it helps.

Hi Beltran,

Ut says ‘command not found’. Why is this happening?Should there be a shortcut that will let me access the local port where this is hosted?

Thanks!

It seems that you are not typing the correct command. Please run these two commands:

cd /Applications/wordpress*
./ctlscript.sh start

I have copy/pasted what you said previously as well. This is what I get.

I think I am going to uninstall it and reinstall. When I do so, please provide me with parameters to be able to access the app when I want to work on my site. Is it because I am using it as a standalone which isn’t connected to any servers yet because I am testing out Bitnami.

Hi,

Maybe you changed the default installation directory. I recommend you to install the MAMP Stack wich include a graphical tool for start and stop the servers. Then you can install the Wordpress module and any other application on top of this stack.

Ok, will do.

Thank you Beltrán for the Terminal code, you just saved me from tearing all my hair out!
