Hi,
I just extracted all the files and started the control panel, but ports 80 and 443 are already being used by "c:\windows\system32\wwahost.exe" which I later found out to be the Windows Store. It makes sense, because I don't remember having this issue on Windows 7, but anyways... The message I received in the control panel is the same as in many other topics, but I kept it below as other users might find this one first.
My question is what ports should I change Apache to. I don't want to just start guessing numbers as I know close to nothing about what I'm doing or what that causes in my computer.
I saw a reply to another topic where it says that, for SSL (port 443) at least, it is not just changing the port number in the control panel but I would also need to change it in the httpd-ssl.config file. If that is also needed for port 80, please advise.
Thank you very much in advance.
