What does the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file tell you or we can only resort to guesswork?


Skype uses ports 80 and 443 by default.

You can alter that behavior in Skype by going to:
Tools\Options\Connection

Untick
Use port 80 and 443 as alternative for incoming connections

You will have to decide a different port to use for incoming connections before Skype lets you save your changes.

Use a port number between 49152 through 65535.

Also IIS uses these ports and you can disable Internet Information Services (IIS), the Vista Windows web server:
(IIS is not needed if using XAMPP)
