You have to disable the http.sys service manually via the registry:

  1. Launch RegEdit
  2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP
  3. Add a new DWORD (32-bit) value
  4. Name it ‘NoRun’ not including the quotes
  5. Double click the new property
  6. In the Value data field type ’1′ not including quotes and click OK
  7. Re-boot your computer

You should now find that Apache will start on port 80!

Its fine! now just open localhost or 127.0.0.1 in a browser. and tell if you dont see the welcome page
