I'm new to web site creation and was advised to set up a local server So I've just installed xampp 1.8.2 and had to modify some port settings to get Apache running. Port 80 changed to 8088 and 443 to 4499. When I try to test the server with http://127.0.0.1in Chrome I get the Error 503. I found a post saying it could be a problem with TomCat but I can't start it, please see below, and I don't know what to do next Any help greatly appreciated.
