that is my error message I have changed skype's port from using port 80 and also uninstalled IIS from microsoft I have only installed xampp on its own without wamp server so that they dont conflict. I have also hired 2 freelancers to try and fix the problem and both of them failed. If someone could be willing to help me out I will be willing to pay you if you can fix my problem |

This means something else is running on the same port (default is 80) and you need to find it and change the port this conflicting program is running on.
Use in a command window:
>netstat -ab
should tell you what all is running on what port.
| Code: | [httpd.exe]
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 COMP3:0 LISTENING |
shows that httpd.exe is listening on port 80, the 0.0.0.0 means all IP addresses on the machine. |

When i use netstat (the one built into xampp) the only thing that I can see that is using port 80 is 'system' the address is 0.0.0.0: and port is 80 with a pid number of 4. I tried copying and pasting your cmd line but it wouldn't work. I have used a similar cmd thou and again I was unable to find the problem. If you want I could give you a teamviewer account and password so that you can control my computer and try to fix.
thanks, jake |

You can easily find out the PID and than look in the taskmanager for it
| Code: |
netstat -ano | findstr /R 0.0:80 && netstat -ano | findstr /R 0.0:443 |
