Latest version of mediawiki and EasyPHP been installed:

• C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1
• C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\mediawiki-1.9.3

I’ve installed those two packages for customizing skins due to scalability enhancement but the problem is the other services running on IIS server disturbing port 80, despite the port number has changed to 8095. However, Apache doesn’t smash through the port…

EasyPHP enables launching Apache when programs "isidsgp" and "Portal" got turned off on IIS manager, and I put everything back the way they were, so these are running now while applications I have installed are disabled as of today.

EasyPHP of old version(v1.8) installed is working well under same conditions without confliction as the port number changed to 8095. 

1. Press and hold "Start" button on the right bottom of the screen, and then choose "run"
2. On the field, type "Inetmgr" then IIS Manager will turn up
3. On the left pane of IIS manager, click your Computer, then default website, then click the stop button.
