WordPress Desktop on localhost:8012, http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php hangs in the browser (chrome).

[ad_1]

I’m trying to get started with WordPress & Xampp but I already have a web server using localhost on port 80. (IIS for a Classic ASP Website)

Following some guides, I’ve changed Xampp’s httpd.conf and http-ssl.conf to use ports 8012 and 8013. Also the config > Service Ports and Settings Main port and SSL port are set to 8012 and 8013 respectively.

myPHP admin works, localhost:8012 goes to the Xampp Dashboard.

the install.php script just hangs upon entering it into address bar.

[http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php) naturally gives me an IIS error because that’s on port 80 and

[http://localhost**:8012**/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php) is the one that hangs.

​

It must be possible to install WordPress/Xampp on ports other than 80 or maybe it’s because I’m actively using IIS on port 80?
