Skype. Stop It.

by Jeremy on May.23, 2008, under Uncategorized

As you all know, I’m a web developer using PHP, MySQL, and Apache. Port 80 just so happens to be the default port for HTTP connections. What completely baffles me is that Skype will use ports 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS) as alternative ports for incoming connections. By default. So, unless I change this option, if Skype starts before Apache, Apache won’t start.

Thanks Skype. I appreciate this “feature”.
