Use a batch script that kills the server when a specific file is deleted or after 30 minutes of idle time. If you plug your portable drive into a

However, port 80 is a common HTTP port and might already be in use by another web server, a service like Skype (which historically tried to use ports 80 and 443), or even a process installed by other software on your system.
