Can't start Apache in XAMPP

I have a problem when I'm trying to start the Apache module in XAMPP localhost. When I click start, I get this:

On Windows, you must stop all running processes referring to Skype in Task Manager or by cmd:

tasklist

then

Taskkill /PID 1680 /F

After that, go to the xampp folder, run apache-stop.exe and then run apache-start.exe.

That executed cmd command and its result are helpful to get what error you actually have.

First open:

Xamp → Config → apache (httpd.config) → change port: 8080

Then

ServerName localhost:8080

Then save. Again click

Config → httpd-ssl.config* → Listen 4433 → <VirtualHost _default_:4433>

Then save and now press start

Just disable VMware services.

It works for me.

According to this question, your question may be solved as follows.

Here is the solution step-by-step:

  1. Open up file httpd-ssl.conf in path2xampp\apache\conf\extra

  2. Look for the line "Listen 443"

  3. Change the port number to anything you want. I use 4430. For example, "Listen 4430".

  4. Replace every "443" string in that file with "4430".

  5. Save the file.

Change the port of Skype or disable Skype on startup.

You have to disable port 80 in Skype's connection settings, restart Skype, and then you can use your Apache server.
