Ok so I have uninstalled IIS on my windows server and decided to try Xampp to host my domains. Port 80 is in use and I have tried all of the fixes that I have came across for the past 2 days. I was in need of figuring out what is using process id 4 on my server which is a system process (NT Kernel & System). That doesnt tell me much and as I said, W3 publishing service is not running and neither is web deployment or MSSql logging.
I downloaded TCPLogView off of a nirsoft and let it run. For 20 minutes the only thing showing on port 80 (on the local end) with process id of 4 is a chinese robots.txt called baiduspider. The Remote hostname for this spider is baiduspider-123-125-71-111.crawl.baidu.com and in 20 minutes it has appeared 6 times using port 80.
This has got to be what is keeping me from starting APache on port 80 but I have no idea how to get rid of it or set it to another port. (not apache, the spider) IIS is uninstalled but my old sites are still in their folders. Any help on this? Thanks for reading!
Here is the log file from TCPLogView:
