On your XAMPP control panel  next to apache  select the  Config  option and select the first file  httpd conf    there  look for the  listen  line  you may use the find tool in the notepad  and there must be a line stating  Listen 80   Note  there are other lines with  listen  on them but they should be commented  start with a     the one you need to change is the one saying exactly  listen 80   Now change it to  Listen 1337    Start apache now   If the error subsists  it s because there s another port that s already in use  So  select the config option again  next to apache in your xampp control panel  and select the second option this time  httpd-ssl conf    there  look for the line  Listen 443  and change it to  Listen 7331    Start apache  it should be working now

I have also faced the same issue while installing the XAMPP  The reason being the port 80 as configured in httpd conf is already in use in other application  eg   in Skype   You can change the port value in httpd conf to 8080 or other number  Click on config icon and open http conf file  Search for 80 and do the following steps  In httpd conf change Listen 80 to Listen 8080 and ServerName localhost 80 to ServerName localhost 8080    You can check the ports used currently by clicking on netstatt icon in the XAMPP Control Panel

i think the error is here    pid 5384 tid 240  AH01909  RSA certificate configured for www example com 443 does NOT include an ID which matches the server name   or there is another app are using the port 80  try restarting your computer and only opening apache and see what happens  or try on reinstalling apache or using Ampps

It means port 80 is already used by another one   Simply follow these steps                            Open windows -  click on Run  win   R  -  type services msc Goto IIS Admin -  Right click on it and click on Stop Option  Open XAMPP click on Start Action of Apache Module  Apache Module is run    OR  For find the port of Apache  80  in Command Prompt simply type netstat -aon it displays present used ports on windows  under Local Address column it shown as 0 0 0 0 80  If it displays this port another connection is already used this port number   Active Connections in Windows XP     I solved my problem after installing xampp-win32-1 6 5-installer previously I used xampp version xampp-win32-1 8 2-0-VC9-installer at that time I got this error  Now it resolved my problem

This problem may occur because of skype installation in the system  Skype and apache service always conflict  Make sure your skype is not started before starting xampp

Just change the port 80 to anything else like 8080 in httpd conf   and port 443 to something else like 4433  in httpd-ssl conf

I had a similar issue  that is the reason I come to this thread  that originated from a typo in httpd-vhosts conf  instead of  lt VirtualHost domain-name 80  I accidentally wrote  through copy-paste  as  lt domain-name   80

Follow these    open your xampp control panel then click its  config  choose the  Apache  httpd conf   and find this code below and change it into this one      Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to    prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses     Listen 0 0 0 0 80  Listen      80 Listen 80     Dynamic Shared Object  DSO  Support  save it  ctrl   s  after that  go back to xampp control panel and click again its config choose  Apache  httpd-ssl conf   find this code below and change it again     Note  Configurations that use IPv6 but not IPv4-mapped addresses need two         Listen directives   Listen      443  and  Listen 0 0 0 0 443     Listen 0 0 0 0 443  Listen      443 Listen 443  save it  ctrl   s  then  click the  config   note  above the netstat  and click the  service and port settings  then save both of it  finally  go to the  control panel  -   Programs  amp  Features  -   Turn Windows On or Off   Uncheck your  Internet Information Services  then click ok    Just wait for it and your computer laptop will be automatically restart and try to open again your xampp control panel then start your Apache

In my situation I had moved the htdocs to a new location updated in httpd conf  which worked fine  I then received the same error after updating the httpd-vhost conf file    I found that the error was caused by a typo in the vhost configuration file  Previously I changed all  DocumentRoot     s to the new htdocs location  but had forgot to update the new location for  ErrorLog   After correcting the missing path  Apache was running smooth again

That is because IIS is automatically running on your machine  IIS occupied both port 80 and 443   I uninstalled IIS for using Apache httpd
