Apache startup problem with Skype

skype-apacheIf you’re using Skype with Apache (standalone or bundled with WAMP, XAMPP), there’s a chance that you can’t start Apache service.

Why? Because Skype uses port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS ) by default.

How to fix?

Easy. Go to Skype Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection, untick “Use port 40 and 443  as alternatives for incoming connections”

    You don’t know how popular Skype is being used over here. Here people don’t have MSN nor Gmail nor YM. They only have Skype.
