In the main Instant Rails main menu choose "Configure >>
Apache". This will
bring up apache''s httpd.conf file in notepad. Then search for and
change the
port number specified in both the "Listen" and "Port"
directives. That
should do it.

Yeah I did that. I changed it to port 8080 since it says 80 is being
used which I know it isn''t. I got the same issue. Apache will not
start from InstantRails.

I got the same thing but it was because I changed only the Listen
directive and not the Port.  Make sure both are the same.  Also, check
to make sure the IIS for Windows XP/2000 is not running

* Right click My Computer
* Left click Manage
* Expand Services and Applications.  Check if Internet Information
Service is there.
* If it is then expand it. Expand Websites. Left click on Default Website
* Then Right click Default Websit and if STOP is available to click on
then IIS is running on the port InstantRails wants to use.

I have a help desk app running on my windows xp box and had the same
issues until i changed the port to both in the conf file.

When you get to your wit''s end, you''ll find God lives there.

Yep did all that, InstantRails will not start Apache with the port
conflict error on Win2k. If I start Apache manually and then start
InstantRails it works fine.

"This life is built on match sticks and can crumble at anytime.
I''m on
the top floor and I sway in the opposite direction of the wind to
counter act the force of gravity."

I think this is a bug in the Instant Rails manager app. I put it on my list
to look at, but its going to be tough to find since I can''t reproduce
the
problem.

(This thread goes back to November but I ran into a similar issue while
trying to get my InstantRails v1.0 server running.)

I''m setting up my server to run my legacy site in IIS on port 80 on a
specific IP and run rails/apache on port 80 and a different IP on the same
(Win2003) box.  So I''ve jumped through all the hurdles to disable
socket
pooling in IIS6 but InstantRails just wouldn''t start up Apache (it said
svchost.exe was using port 80, which it very well could have been, but on a
different IP)

So I came across this thread that Frank was able to MANUALLY start apache
and the InstantRails was fine.

Sure enough, I was able to manually start up Apache then fire up
InstantRails and everything worked perfect!

There was a bug in Instant Rails where it will also say the Apache port is
in use when it was actually the MySQL port that was in use. I thought I made
a quick change to the error message to say "Apache or MySQL" port is
in use,
but I''ll have to double-check that.

In any case, also make sure you don''t have a MySQL port conflict.
