XAMPP Apache not running, path issue

Question

I'm having a problem with my XAMPP Control Panel. The Apache won't run, I tried reinstalling it and allowed the Apache and its http.exe in my firewall. And I also tired editing the port Listen and its server localhost name in the Apache(httpd.conf) like what the other sites were suggesting. ( i don't have a Skype too) help.

Answer 1

Click on httpd.conf

and change Listen 80 to Listen 8181 , now you can access it as http://localhost:8181 and here as well ServerName localhost:8181

OR

close your skpype and start it and then start using skype. PS: You can use 80 from skype settings as well if you want to use 80 part with apache

Answer 2

skype might be the issue. Tools ->connection option-> uncheck "use port 80 ...." -> save and restart Skype and try

Answer 3

Ahh you have installed xamppp to C:\\Program Files (x86), right? Have you reinstalled xampp to C:\\xampp and tried?
