Is there any chance you have other web server installed? For example IIS? If yes, try to open windows components/features and uninstall it (Internet information Services).<br />
<br />
You can also change its settings to other port: IIS &gt;&nbsp;Web Server &gt;&nbsp;select the server &gt;&nbsp;sites &gt;&nbsp;Default Web Site &gt;&nbsp;Bindings &gt;&nbsp;change port 80 to something else.

Hi papalala, hintco<br />
<br />
I have IIS installed on this PC.<br />
I tried to change the port that apache listens to from the apache-&gt;conf-&gt;httpdconf<br />
<br />
#Listen 0.0.0.0:8080<br />
#Listen [::]:8080<br />
Listen 8080<br />
<br />
It seems to be running now.<br />
Thanks

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I cannot get apache to start. It says port 80 Busy.<br />
Many posts have suggested skype to be causing this issue. I do not have a skype installed on my PC.<br />
In the command windows when i did a netstat -aon, &nbsp;i see that port 80 is being used by a PID 4 which is a system Process.<br />
I used netstat -abno which says it cannot obtain ownership information for port 80.<br />
<br />
<br />
How do i get this working?<br />
