I switched to Windows 7 sometime ago, it’s pretty amazing and of the best Operating System in my opinion after Windows XP.
I installed Apache and PHP along with MySQL, after testing and confirming the installation was successful, i shutdown my PC and went for nap, after getting back up i logged into Skype (which i also installed).
I thought i should work on a project of mine, when i noticed that Apache is not running working anymore!
I also tested out MySQL which was working perfectly normal, but something was wrong with Apache – The port that Apache uses (port 80) is already being used by another program, i found this out after a little bit of troubleshooting…
The culprit here is Skype! – Skype by default uses port 80 and 443 as it’s incoming connections, But the fix for this is pretty simple and straight-forward.
As shown in the above picture, all you have to do is Un-check the box which says use port 80 and 443 for incoming connections.
