Bitnami Installation Error

  • Hello there!

    On wordpress’s how to create multisites, it said that I should install ‘Bitnami’ which I tried to do but there was an error message something about port number 80.

    I googled a bunch of answers but could not for my life figure it out.

    What can I do?

    The purpose was to create one more site in another language with slightly different content.

    Your help is appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hiii
    Yes, I have looked at it and started the installation.
    On the link you sent, this is the part where I get stuck.
    I get the error message and do not know how to move on. I use Windows.
    ::
    WordPress multisite requires to be installed in the default port: 80. For this reason it is necessary on Linux systems to run the installer as root user in Linux machines.

    If you see the following error message:

    “Unable to bind to the 80 port number. WordPress Multisite only supports this port for the Apache server.”

    It is possible that you are not running the installer as root user or is there any other application using this port (for example Skype or a web server). To run the installer as the root user on Linux, you will need to execute it using sudo (for example if you are running Ubuntu) :

    sudo /path/to/bitnami-wordpress-VERSION-multisite-linux-installer.run

    or become root first with the following command, and then execute the installer:

    su -l

    If you are using OS X, the installer will ask you for the Administrator password automatically. You can also run the Stack as root user from a Terminal:

    $ sudo /path/to/bitnami-wordpress-VERSION-multisite-linux-installer.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh

    I deleted Skype but that didn’t help..

    Hello,

    Try installing it with “Run as Administrator“, and then restart your pc. Start Bitnami and see how it goes.

    I’m not sure if it works, but at least give it a try.

    Hm but the error message still wont let me install wordpress multisite to begin with.

    I click save file. Run. And then the same error message pops up.

    ”There has been an error. Unable to bind to the 80 port number. WordPress Multisite only supports this port for the Apache server.”

    Oh I tried Run as Administrator – still won’t work ??

    Hello,

    Looks like you have got to find a way to free port 80 in your machine.

    Kindly, refer to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/788348/how-do-i-free-my-port-80-on-localhost-windows

    Or else, you just simple change your default port 80 in your config file to some other say port 81 and access your site using https://localhost:81
