Whenever I launch the XAMPP control panel, I get the message that the ports that are configured to be listened by the Apache Server are busy, and the listening app always flagged to be the Apache Server itself!!!! This is very inconvenient and frustrating as I always have to change the port for the Apache Server before I could proceed further with doing anything useful.
The sample error log is given below:

Could you suggest any remedy to this problem? Or will I have to live forever with this problem?
Thanks.
