How To Post Announcement:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=48331You did uninstall the Apache and MySQL Windows services before uninstalling 1.7.4 and then deleting the xampp folder before installing 1.7.7 version?
There should be no need to change the default port Apache uses if you can locate what else is using those ports and if there is a possible port conflict with MySQL port 3306.
Apache did not start because you already have something using port 80 and port 443.
In the xampp folder there is a new Control Panel v3 - xampp-control-3-beta.exe - try using it after exiting the older 2.5 version as it has better troubleshooting features.
You can upgrade the version in 1.7.7 to the bug free 3.0.6 version (beta5) from this post:
viewtopic.php?p=186862#p186862Click on the Netstat button and see what is using port 80, 443 and 3306 then let me know back.
Also the log window may give clues.
Read the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file for more clues.
