How can i solve the php control panel PID problem.

Answer 1

can you tell me about your envirenment please ?

if you are running on localhost use the 8080 port instead of 80

if you are running on linux such as ubuntu try to run this cmd fuser -n tcp -k 80 it's will close all the process on the 80 port

Answer 2

Using Powershell you can find a process by port:

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 80).OwningProcess

If System is the process opening that port then usually another service has requested this. Here is a list of possible processes:

• SQL Server Reporting Services (ReportServer)
• Web Deployment Agent Service (MsDepSvc)
• BranchCache (PeerDistSvc)
• Sync Share Service (SyncShareSvc)
• World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC)
• Internet Information Server (WAS, IISADMIN)
