Well, I tried to execute a ColdFusion page and got the Apache server again on localhost. I'm going back to the drawing board. I even altered the port numbers in httpd.conf (Apache) from 80 to 8080 and yet the localhost goes right back to port 80.
>I've never configured Apache, but it looks like it's configured with a file named httpd.conf. Within that file there's probably a line "listen 80" instructing it to bind/listen on port 80. If you comment out or remove that line, it should stop listening on port 80.
