I have installed EasyPHP but the error "Apache cannot be runned: another web server use the web port or port is blocked by firewall" comes up. I have searched through semester 1 forums and have not found any help. Please advise...

Try this:

To overcome this issue :
1. Click the EasyPHP icon beside the “Apache” button.
2. Click “Configure” then click “EasyPHP“.
3. Uncheck “Check server’s TCP port before starting” then click “Apply” button and then “Close” button.
4. Click “Apache” button and then click “Start“.

Just a tip on installing EasyPHP on Win7. I installed it under the program files x86 and did not allow to save my php files because of permissions. Therefore try to install on the root directory of c which will allow you to save. It should then read c:\easyphp when it ask you to confirm the directory

Ref: tutorial letter 101 page 12
"If you run Skype, it will also clash since it uses port 80. It is difficult to provide support
on installation problems as each PC may have a different setup. Please Google for support,"
i hope i'm giving you the right infor, if so, you need to UNINSTALL Skype smile

You need to change the port number if you ruin Skyp. Google for "change port number EasyPHP"
