Hi,

I am new to XAMPP. I have installed the version 1.8.2 on my Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium system, and I am facing problem in starting the Apache Server. On being reported by the XAMPP control panel that the default port 80 is used by some other process, I change the default port number for Apache Server to 5107. However, the Apache Server still won't start as the control panel shows the following output:

10:15:04 [main] Initializing Control Panel
10:15:04 [main] Windows Version: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
10:15:04 [main] XAMPP Version: 1.8.2
10:15:04 [main] Control Panel Version: 3.2.1 [ Compiled: May 7th 2013 ]
10:15:04 [main] Running with Administrator rights - good!

10:15:04 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
10:15:04 [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

Kindly suggest how to fix this problem.

Thanks,
