I tried to install xampp and xampplite but could not start the apache server it appeared to be a problem with using port 80
I installed wampserver and the port 80 test determined that Skype may be using it
I closed Skype and then the server was able to run and I could put wamp online and view the test pages - working fine
I restarted Skype which went through a reinstall procedure, I guess to automatically change ports, so now I have the wamp server and Skype both running
I stopped wampserver and reinstalled xampplite which is running fine now, no conflict with Skype
If you are having trouble with wamp, xampp or xampplite try closing Skype
