hi all friends and gurus,

i am new in this, i installed Xampp 1.8.2 on my Win 7 64 bit ( also McAfee Enterprise with DLP ), when starting Control Panel it is showing the error below:

10:34:22 AM [Apache] Problem detected!
10:34:22 AM [Apache] Port 443 in use by ""C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-hostd.exe" -u "C:\ProgramData\VMware\hostd\config.xml"" with PID 2736!
10:34:22 AM [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
10:34:22 AM [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
10:34:22 AM [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port


please help to solve this problem, how i can handle this situation?

thanks very much for your valuable time :)

We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!
