This sounds as though there's a webserver of some sort already running 
on your local PC (on port 80), so the standalone server isn't able to 
run.

Perhaps I should update the standalone code so that if it's
unable to grab port 80, it picks a different port and changes the
configuration to match...

I'm not familiar with abyss, but essentially you should just do
a normal installation of PmWiki into the document root for the
Abyss webserver, and things should work from there.

Hope this helps,
