What happens if you try to start Apache by double clicking the apache_start.bat script?
What is the response of this script?

Step 1 - From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button, and select the Apache (httpd.conf).
Inside the httpd.conf file, somehow I found a line that says:
Code: Select all
Listen 80

And change the 80 into any number / port you want. In my scenario I’m using port 8080.
Code: Select all
Listen 8080

Still from the httpd.conf file, I found another line that says:
Code: Select all
ServerName localhost:80

Change 80 to 8080.
Code: Select all
ServerName localhost:8080


Step 2 - From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button again, but this time select the Apache (httpd-ssl.conf). Inside the httpd-ssl.conf file, find line that says

Code: Select all
Listen 443

And change the 443 into any number / port you want. I’ll using 4433 as the new port number.
Code: Select all
Listen 4433

Still from the httpd-ssl.conf file, find another line that says
Code: Select all
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName localhost:443

And change 443 to 4433.
Code: Select all
<VirtualHost _default_:4433>
ServerName localhost:4433


Remember to save the httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf files after performing some changes. Then restart the Apache service.

@rahmancyber.net
What tells you that this is a port conflict here?
The topic creater already told that he tried to change the ports without any success
