Life and technology

I installed xampp for my new project and installation was fine. But when i stared testing that everything is correctly working, I found that Apache does not start even though MySQL starts properly. Initially I thought that it was due to some issue with installation. First I reinstalled it and checked. Unfortunately I got same issue. Then I checked the windows system log files in event viewer. The log file content was

The Apache2.2 service terminated with service-specific error 1 (0x1).

Suddenly I remembered that I needs to check the Apache log file too. The log file said that it encountered some issue with port (80, default). Then I realized that Apache default port conflict with some application running in the same port. Finally I found that it was Skype . I made change the settings in the skype and problem resolved. The setting that I changed in skype was;

Tools -> Option -> Advanced -> Connection -> Uncheck "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections"
