I was experimenting with IIS and ASP.NET however I want to go back to WAMP as far as my development server stack on my local windows 7 computer. So I disabled the IIS windows program (using Control Panel -> Program and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off) and installed WAMP. I then when to localhost in my browser and just got a blank page. I then uninstalled WAMP and tried again and still got the blank page. I cleared my browser all of saved data like cache and still the same effect. I have uninstalled IIS and WAMP however I can't get localhost to return server not found like it usually does. I know the skype can sometimes effect things running on port 80 so I quit that but still it does not work. Is there a way I can figure out what is running on the port and returning me an empty page?

You want to run the netstat command. You will need to run this from the console.

netstat -a -b

while running that and loading localhost in my browser, I don't see any running on port 80 – ryanzec Jul 2 '11 at 10:14

Use this command to see the PID of the listening process.

netstat -nao | find "LISTEN"

Once you have the PID you can run tasklist to see the name of the process. It should be clear at that point.

not really. wouldn't it be listening on port 80? I don't see anything listening on 127.0.0.1:80 (nothing is listening on port 80 and the only ports listening on 127.0.0.1 are 5354 and 27015) – ryanzec Jul 2 '11 at 15:59
Could also be listening on 0.0.0.0:80 or ::1:80. – Kyle Smith Jul 2 '11 at 16:21
yea, nothing is listen on port 80 for any ip address – ryanzec Jul 2 '11 at 17:33
