xampp fail to run

15:41:01 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
15:41:01 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
15:41:01 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

Could anybody help me with above? I have Skype uninstalled and can't find out what is blocking port 80. Also, I run XAMPP as administrator.

I'll try with more information.

The XAMPP version is 7.0.4. It's a full version named xampp-win32.7.0.4-0-VC14-installer.exe

Windows is Windows 10 Home, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

The installation path is C:\xampp\

I did not execute anuy scripts. I, after having deactivated anti virus program, simply started the XAMPP Control Panel APP from the APP list as administrator. I then pushed the 'START'-button for APACHE supposing that the Apache icon would turn into green. This did not happen. Instead I got the following message:

I have not been able to find anything in the Windows event log entries.

And, as I told you before, the apache.log files in the control panel was not even created.

This was something of a mouthful. I hope it will help.

I've solved the problem. Just renamed the port numbers in Apache(httpd.conf) and Apache(httpd-ssl.conf).
