Hi guys,
I am undergoing this problem after after installing XAMP and trying to start Apache server.
The error log -

It looks as if either some other web server is running already, or maybe XAMP is already and you are trying to start a second instance of it. Only one program can listen on a port at anytime.

Apache should be running on boot up since it is a windows service. Try going to http://localhost and see if you get anything.

I get a broken link using http://localhost.
I have disabled my firewall,user active control but I am still unable to find the error.

I just installed XAMP and couldnt even run Apache for a single time.

I was just slummin over at the XAMP forums. They have a port check, it should tell you something about port 80 and 443. Is IIS installed and running on that box w/o your knowledge?
