#1

Will This isn't a Big Tutorial It's a guide line on how to Start Apache While Having Skype On

Reason for this is, A lot of Gamer's uses Skype Regularly and for Personal preferences If you're new to XAMPP and uses Skype Regularly you may encounter this problem.

If you do this without configuring the settings you'll get the following:

Code:
8:58:16 AM  [Apache] 	Problem detected!
8:58:16 AM  [Apache] 	Port 80 in use by "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" with PID 5384!
8:58:16 AM  [Apache] 	Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
8:58:16 AM  [Apache] 	You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
8:58:16 AM  [Apache] 	or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port
It's Very Simple and easy to fix with 2 Methods:

1. Simply Un Checking "Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections" In your Skype --> Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Connections ( http://imgur.com/a/JvAdk )



Select Save then Restart Your Skype.

That's the easiest and simplest way of doing it.

Another Method is Changing default Ports in the Apache.

On opening your XAMPP Start your MYSQL and Click Config on your Apache ( http://imgur.com/a/y20BE )



Select Apache (httpd.conf)

Search for Listen. Then change it from 80 to 81 ( http://imgur.com/a/ELGWX )



Save then start your Apache, When Selecting "Admin" On your MYSQL it wouldn't work. (It wouldn't Load the Webpage).

Re-open your "Apache (httpd.conf)" Remember: Selecting Config at the Apache Line then selecting Config.

Then Re-Change your Listen 81 to 80 (Configuring).

Then it Should work.
