Today I no longer can start my xampp which uses localhost, since something else is using it, so my xampp complains.

When I check hte browser,it returns a proper 404 as well, so something is abusing it.

Any tips on how to see what is serving there?

netstat -nao | findstr ":80\>". Also search Google "pid 4 + port 80". – quanta Oct 2 '11 at 10:28

  • open command prompt / powershell
  • run netstat -o to get a list of processes with active network connections
  • find the one running on port 80, and get its process id (PID)
  • open task manager, go to the processes tab
  • find the process name, with the ID youve just obtained.

On Windows, netstat -b will list the name of the executable listening on the local address/port. This requires an elevated cmd prompt. – jscott Oct 2 '11 at 13:28
