How can I solve xampp server not connecting to the browser
I tried connecting the xampp local server to the browser but it's not working

check on your applications administrator and see all the programs running and if any is using same port you need to stop it. if you are in a mac is in the activity monitor click on memory and check all ports in use.

IIS 7.5 running on Win7 Pro - access through a port other than 80 or 8080

I'm not sure I can adequately explain my dilemma, but here goes...
Our company has its own web server at xyz.com. I have a Win 7 Pro machine running a non-HTTP server program that communicates with an iPhone app used by our field crews. The path to this machine from outside the network is abc.xyz.com, and it's set for port 5000. The app, then, is programmed to exchange data (ASCII only) with the server at abc.xyz.com:5000. The server program is written in VB, and the system works very well like that.
What I would like to do now is to add IIS to this same machine and open it on port 5001, so I can run asp.net pages that will enhance the functionality of the app for our crews. The URL would be abc.xyz.com:5001, and they will access it through their phone browsers.
I have IIS 7.5 installed on the machine, and I have started it running with the "default web site," and I have the binding set for port 5001. So far I am able to access the IIS "Welcome" page only from the same machine. I can't get it to come up on any other machine either inside or outside the network.
In searching for clues for this problem, all I read indicates that it's pretty much a snap to get a web server running on your Windows 7 machine. But it hasn't been so much a snap for me. I've checked the sharing settings and the security settings, they seem to be ok, as best I can tell.
I am hoping that someone will help me identify some obscure setting somewhere that I am overlooking and get this going. But I also even wonder if this is something that can't be done, i.e. because there's another server program using the same path running on port 5000.
By the way, I am not the network administrator. I try to avoid getting him involved because he's difficult to work with. I am hoping that this is just between me and my server.
Thanks for any insight anyone can give me.
You mention that you can access the website from the machine itself on port 5001, but you can't access the site from another computer within the same network - this suggests to me that the Windows 7 built-in firewall is blocking the request - as it's a non-standard IIS port.
You should configure the firewall to allow incoming requests on port 5001. Open a command prompt (as administrator) and run the following:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name='IIS Website on Port 5001' dir=in protocol=TCP localport=5001 action=allow profile=any
I found the answer elsewhere on StackOverflow. I needed to add IUSR to the list of authorized users. So far I have tested it on my iPhone browser using 3G and it came through. Seems likely that it will work from anywhere, but I'm not yet ready to declare total success.

Can't open site other than on the port 80

I installed on my server, a Bug tracker which is accessible through port 3000 (http://myserver:3000).
Every thing is ok on my server, i can access to my web application any time, but in my job's computer, i cannot even connect to this application and no other web application which run on different port other than 80.
I have added a role on the windows Firewall settings by letting connection to and from port 3000. But same result.
If some one have a solution to this, i'll be thankful.
Best Regards
Is it possible that your work network is blocking your home machine. Can you ping your home machine or access it with its ip address? When you type
http://myserver:3000
are you doing this from the local intranet? If you have your bug server on your home machine then you won't be able to access
http://myserver:3000
from your work machine without a fully qualified domain nae or ip address?
If the above answers are all resolved then whenever I have such difficulties on windows, I do the following. If you don't have admin rights you might not be able to do this.
temporarily disable all firewall/antivirus programs.
Start web server listening on port 80 (on your home machine)
Access from a different machine if this works then
Start web server on 3000
Access from a different machine.
If it works then it is a matter of finding whether the problem was that the web request was being blocked by the firewall or antivirus. In your case it appears it might be the antivirus. To confirm disable all antivirus for a moment.
Make sure you turn your antivirus/firewall back on once the problem is diagnosed!

How to view webpage on my server from another computer?

I have a web application I have developed on a server on my home computer. Is it possible to access that web page from another computer on my home network?
My naive approach was just enter my ip address followed by the port number :8888 which the server is listening on...
Any help would be great thank you.
I don't know if it will help but you can use an ssh connection to your computer. But you need to do it from a shell (from terminal on a mac, use putty on a PC)
In the end it was easier to set up remote access to the server by setting up port-forwarding on my router and using no-ip for DNS management. They have a decent walkthrough to get it all up and running. So i simply have to type in my-address.no-ip.org to access my site from any remote device.
Otherwise the links to questions on superuser that Sampo posted are worth a try.

Windows Server 2008 R2/IIS 7 refuses all outside tcp connections

I am unable to connect, for example, via http to a brand new installation of 64-bit Windows Server 2008. The server is on a domain, but is not DC (that's another problem altogether).
The IIS7 is running on the server and the website is accessible locally via http://localhost, but when I try to connect from another machine on the same network, the connections is refused, even though Windows Firewall is disabled.
I am able to connect to and browse the shared folders on the server using Windows Explorer, so it is not a physical connection issue. I can ping other machines on the network from the server, but trying to ping the server from another machine results in "Destination host unreachable".
As far as I can tell, the server refuses any TCP connections from any machine. I am thinking, there must be some other configuration setting that I am missing... Please, help.
NS
Like in Windows 7 the behaviour is determined by the network type (home, work, internet) the OS thinks it is connected to... even with a disabled firewall it respects these settings and accordingly refuses/allows connections...
The solution is embarrassignly simple, and the credit goes to Ashley Steel, on ServerFault.com for asking just the right questions. It turns out that the DNS was resolving the name of the server incorrectly, because the machine was named the same as an old, since decommissioned workstation that used to live on the same subnet.
The solution: rename the server.

Why can't I make an http request to the ASP.NET development server on localhost?

I have an ASP.NET project (VS2008 on Windows 7 with either webforms, MVC1, or MVC2 -- all the same result for me) which is just the File->New hello world web project. It's using the default ASP.NET development server, and when I start the server with F5, the browser never connects and I get a timeout. I tried to debug this by telnetting to the development server's port while it was running, and I got the same result:
C:\Users\farmercs>telnet localhost 54752
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 54752:
Connect failed
I can see in the system tray that the server thinks it's running, and a netstat -a -n command shows that there is indeed an active TCP listener on that port.
This worked in the not-too-distant past, and I could work on web projects using the development server. One thing that has changed since then was that I installed the Microsoft Loopback Adapter to accommodate a local development Oracle installation. I'm not sure this is the problem, but it seems a likely culprit.
I also tried to hit the port using the server name itself (http://mycomputername:54752) but with the same result.
So, what could be blocking me from connecting? And if it's the loopback, then what is a good way for me to retain my ability to connect to my development Oracle server while still being able to use the ASP.NET development server?
have you checked your host file?
%SystemRoot%\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host
look if there is any redirection of localhost or 127.0.0.1 to somewhere else rather than your pc
