Website Connection Problems

[_Arthur]

Usually if people are having trouble connecting to your website, there is most likely a problem with port :80. If you're sure you've got it forwarded(open), and your site still won't allow people to connect to it,

Follow these steps:

1. Open CMD prompt

2. type "netstat -a -no" (Without "............")

3. Look for:

----Local Address ----Foreign Address----State------PID
"TCP xxx.xxx.xx.x:80 xxx.xxx.xxx.x LISTENING XXXX
-------------------------------------------------

4. Note the PID (XXXX)

5. Open Task Manager (Hit Windows Button + R, and type "taskmgr", then hit "Enter")

6. Hit the tab Services in Task Manager

7. Search for the corresponding PID in task manager, as in CMD on port :80

8. In Task Manager, right click the service that runs the PID on port :80
(It is usually something like Skype, or TeamViewer)

9. Right click the listed Process and hit 'END PROCESS'

10. Restart XAMPP

To avoid skype to use port 80:
Tools >Options >Advanced > Connection > UNCHECK "use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections"
