Please help me on this guys, as I badly need to install this at my pc for my software project this semester.

heres the error log:

It's telling you that there is some other process listening on port 80. Search through these forums for what apps to look for and stop.

Another program, for example and the most frequent is Skype, the Windows Server IIS or even another type of file server perhaps, is using port 80.

Use Port-Check in your XAMPP Control Panel to find out what it is, then take appropriate action to remove the offender from port 80 so Apache has exclusive use of it.

Skype can be configured to use another port and IIS can be stopped or even better completely disabled.

BTW you did not mention what version of XAMPP you are using or which Windows OS?

thanks for that, skype is really the cause of my problem

i hesitated to try checking if skype is really using port 80 because when i used the xampp port-checker, skype was no longer to be seen there, so i didn't bother to try and check the connection settings of skype since it is not automatically started with windows.

thanks really for this.
