I've configured xampp -> httpd.conf to Listen: 85 and http-ssl.conf to Listen: 445 already. There is no IIS listed in Services
Apache and MySQL are set to Auto-start in XAMPP Control Panel config.
Here's the console output when I start XAMPP:

Any suggestions are welcome! I've tried installing WAMP without success. Ditto Apache alone. Removed them and now I'm trying to get WAMPP working. Pretty frustrating!
