Hello everyone,
I am a newbie here. I have just installed Xampp but i am having issues on starting the Apache server on the Control panel. I ran it as an administrator and it gives me this warning.. My Operating system is Windows 7 64 bits.

8:39:25 AM [Apache] Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4!
8:39:25 AM [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
8:39:25 AM [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
8:39:25 AM [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

please help me solve this issue.Thanks

I'm getting this:

I started on windows 8, but wonder if there is a version available for 64 bits.

Hello,

To the original poster, you most likely have a Windows Service blocking port 80. One common blocking service is World Wide Web Publishing Service. It is a component of IIS and can be stopped/disabled if you do not use IIS.

I also need the entire XAMPP Control Panel log window contents, any error messages from the Apache error log, and any errors received from running "apache_start.bat" in the main XAMPP folder to be able to tell what is going on.

My question is not about starting xampp, which i could do already, but if THERE IS A VERSION OF XAMPP THAT RUNS ON 64 BITS!

Any contribution?

Windows is able to run 32Bit programs even on its 64Bit OS.
I am running multiple older and current default Xampp releases on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit

Cant start apache somebody please help; im pretty new to this these are my error logs:
