[EDIT by Altrea: moved to the correct forum]

Hi Mehak,

you are so busy of all that assignments that you didn't have time to:

• choose the correct forum for your thread
• choose a self speaking subject
• start your thread with a short Hi or Hello
• post any information about your environment an installation actions
• post the entire contents of the XAMPP control panel message box or any other helpful error logs

If you don't spend any effort in your thread, why should we?

best wishes,
Altrea

Okay Sorry

If you open your Windows Task Manager and go to the Processes tab, what program is PID 3188?

Hi,
iam Using window7 ...and PID 3188 is not in processess tab other PID's are there but not 3188

The PID can change.
Take again a look into your XAMPP control panel log windows for the current PID.

Hi,
Thank You all of you for reply me ..Thanks again my problem is solved

Would be nice if you want to tell us which program was blocking your ports...
Otherwise your thread is not really helpful for others with the same problem

Well i deleted skype and install my windows again ..because when i search from Windows Task Manager ->Processes tab -->PID 3188....not any program was exists with this PID ..so i refresh my windows and Install Apache after immediately windows .... nothing else i done except these steps

Hi Altrea/Mehak/All others,

How are you all doing?

I have been facing a similar problem with the installation of XAMPP server.

I receive the following error:

I do not have skype installed as well.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Also the process that is running with PID 4 is "System" on port 80

The process that is running with PID 4 is also "System" on port 443
