Spiceworks fails to load and looking error log: fatal.log in the program files folder for Spiceworks shows the following:<\/p>\n
[19:43:57 UTC] Error ‘Timeout waiting for Apache to start’ running spiceworks with args [“scgirun”] at This means that there is a conflict of ports which Spicework uses and another service.<\/p>\n Launch Spiceworks, then on the taskbar right click the icon and choose “Preferences” and there in the text box “Spicewoks server HTTP port” you can try a different port like port “8080” and hit OK. This should launch Spiceworks again. If it loads up and opens a browser window then this is clearly a port error with another service. The usual culprit is IIS on the server.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If IIS is running a Web Service the issue is that the Web Service is running on port 80, the same port that Spiceworks is trying to start up on.<\/p>\n A way to fix this can be either change the port that Spiceworks uses to startup if that is possible:<\/p>\n Or change the bindings on the webservice to a different port besides port 80 the link to do so is below:<\/p>\n
