I get a message saying "inetinfo.exe" is using port 80, so apache isn't starting. Any idea on how to get apache to use another port or other suggestions on how to resolve this problem?
Well one option is just to change Apache's port as you said. I don't remember the exact steps off the top of my head but InstantRails has a dialog box where you can select to open the Apache configuration file. In there just change from "80" to whatever you want.
I would like to point out that Apache doesn't actually have to be running to see your rails application if you use "ruby script/server" to start the process. Once you are in your rails application, simply start the server using that command and then go to "http://localhost:3000" and you should see the rails application.
Apache isn't actually that important to get started testing your rails app.
