KAZAA OVERRIDES APACHE WEBSERVER

[iamprem]

when installed new version of kazaa media desktop 2.0.2 the apache webserver is overridden and wouldnt allow the apche webserver to be started.
and when typed

http://localhost

into the web browser all the shared media files that are being shared in the shared folders in the kazaa program files are displayed as downloadable links
how do i stop kazaa from doing this ??? any help is very mych appreciated. if nothing can be done i shall uninstall kazaa...............

Check 2 things....

when KaZaA is running, go to the command propmt and type:

netstat -a

It will show you what is running on which port. Make sure KaZaA isn't running on port 80.

#2, make sure that your shared folder isn't the same folder as your htdocs.

If that doesn't straighten you out, let me know...I have a few other tricks up my sleeve. ;-) Hope I was of some help...

Kazaa is most likely on port 1214. If you have Kazaa running, you can open a browser window and go to "localhost:1214". Assuming you have sharing turned on, it should show you a list of the files in your shared folder (not the ".dat" files, though).

I have this problem too. But instead of trying to fix it I just uninstalled Kazaa. Eventhough I no longer have a shared documents folder with files in it, when I load up apache (version 1.3.23 - in windows XP) when I go to htpp://localhost I still get a list of the old files that I once had in the shared documents folder of kazaa. My c:\apache\htdocs folder is not being accessed here and I'm just wondering why!

Hi mate,

Open Kazaa preferences and I'm 99% sure that you can alter the default port which is 80.

Hope this helps Wullie
