James,

It sounds like something else has taken over port 80 (part of the PHP
install perhaps? Did it create a new site). If you go in to the Internet
Services Manager, take a look at the properties of each web site listed.
On the Web Site tab, click on the 'Advanced' button. Make sure that you
have a unique combination of IP address, port, and host header for all
sites. If you like, post the configuration to this thread (you can change
the display names, I'm more interested in the port assignment/host header
combinations).
