XAMPP - Apache and MySQL

I'm trying to run Apache and MySQL on XAMPP Control Panel v.3.2.2, but it doesn't want to start.

I googled and it was mostly because port was already in used(usually because Skype is using it), but I re-mark that function in Skype and it's still the same.

I'm not sure if I'm using it anywhere else - I do not as far as I know - or it's something else.

XAMPP installation is fresh, I've never installed it before.

This is the error that I get:

11:31:48 [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app... 11:31:48 [Apache] Status change detected: running 11:31:49 [Apache] Status change detected: stopped 11:31:49 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. 11:31:49 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,

Solution

  • Change these

    Method 01 - Change XAMPP port

    In your httpd.conf

    Change port like this

    #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 
Listen 85

    Then access localhost by using

    localhost:85/

    Method 02 - Change Skype Port

    Go to Tools/Option/Advanced/Connections and uncheck the box "use port 80 and 443 as alternative".
