  <strong>pressing <em>Enter</em> shuts the window down</strong>, nothing happens. Waiting gives no profit either. </p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What's wrong?</p>
  
  <h2>Update</h2>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Had attempts to change port number for Apache (both to 81 and to 8080) in <code>httpd.conf</code>:</p>
  
  <p>Listen 0.0.0.0:8080 
  Listen [::0]:8080
  ServerName localhost:8080</p></li>
  <li><p>Checked whether IIS is runnig => No!
