What give an error saying...?

Where do you see this error message about port 443?

Read the xammp\apache\logs\error.log file at about the date and time you last tried to start Apache for more details about your error.

If port 443 or any port that XAMPP requires is already in use then this will prevent Apache etc. from starting.

To see what is using the ports that XAMPP requires exclusively, use this nice little freeware no-install app. CurrPorts from here:

On the the Services interface, when i try to start the Apache2 service,the bar moves then stops and returns an error message saying Apache SSL port 443 is blocked. In the log file there is no record of this error.

What is the "Services interface" and why are you trying to start Apache using it instead of using the XAMPP Control Panel?

When I used the xampp control panel, when I click start, it tells me Apache started. It shows Running then stops with no error message. The services in terface is where all the installed services can be seen, started or stopped. I decided to there directly to start Apache2, that when it showed the error message
"Apache SSL prot 443 blocked".

Some other server is using port 443 and CurrPorts will tell you what it is - Skype?

Only use the XAMPP Control Panel but first you will have to find out and disable what is using port 80 and port 443 as we can't possibly do that from here.

Melvin, that's good news.

If you start Apache before Skype then Skype will use other ports.

Also you can configure Skype to use other ports so you can have both running, which I am sure you would prefer.

Good Luck.
