Apache Friends Support Forum

It does not look like Apache is starting when I press START in the XAMPP control panel. It does not show Running, but in the window it says:

busy..
Apache service started

When I press status it shows STATE 0. Is something else using port 80, or what is wrong?

Is something else using port 80

Maybe, but don't ask us ... it's your pc
BTW. You can verify this with xampp-portcheck, netstat, tcpview, or...

or what is wrong?

Start Apache with the batch file and read the (error-) message.

Stopping Skype fixed the problem. But how can I then use Skype later?
Can the port Skype uses be changed?

Yes. Look around in settings of skype.
