# URGENT! Localhost problem

 * Hi i need urgent help.
 * I was developing my first ever WP theme about 3-4 months ago from now, but due
   to some reasons i had to stop work on it.
 * In the meanwhile i installed IIS and Visual Studio to practice my ASP.Net projects.
 * Now, when i tried to continue building my theme, after 4 months, my Apache is
   not getting connected only through my Xampp control panel. It says:
    WARNING:
   terminating worker thread 0
 * Upon research ( [http://assethost01a.iterasi.net/ec2eb670e447/94d5ad32ba6b/ff6f9e86baa1/6a8a3ac75a10/56ed2c07-0a84-409c-9104-76a507c43be2/95a881d1-8f3b-4da3-834f-d52c4fbc112f-default.html](http://assethost01a.iterasi.net/ec2eb670e447/94d5ad32ba6b/ff6f9e86baa1/6a8a3ac75a10/56ed2c07-0a84-409c-9104-76a507c43be2/95a881d1-8f3b-4da3-834f-d52c4fbc112f-default.html)???

   +voBKnmgqLgp19/Rr1JDpVEJP4e6csaS5MEZw0eOQ9ZOX23AuQY=#nostart ), i found that 
   IIS and Apache both use port 80.
 * Now i want to know, how to get things working again? Is there a way to shift 
   my apache to port 81? Or what else can be done?
 * Quoting from the link mentioned above:
    ” The apache does not start on my system!!!
 * This problem can be several reasons.
    (1) You have started more then one HTTP
   Server (IIS, Sambar, ZEUS and so on). Only one Server can occupy port 80. So 
   you must terminate one http server, before you start the Apache.”
 * Please help me ASAP. Thanks.

 * firstain,
 * You may try to turn off IIS and turn on Apache.
 * Also you may try to edit Apache httpd.conf and set any port you like there.
