I have Windows 7 (32-bit) installed on laptop.
I downloaded WAMP server and installed it with it’s default options.
However, I noticed that Apache does not work (while MySQL does work!).
I tried to install it via Apache → Service → Install Service and got a message saying that port 80 is taken by Skype. I turned off Skype, and then Apache started to work.
How can I avoid this conflict and allow WAMP and Skype to work simultaneously?
Should I configure Apache to work with other port? Where?
In Skype:
Go to
Tools → Options → Advanced → Connectionsand uncheck the boxuse port 80 and 443 as alternative. This should help.As Salman Quader said: In the updated skype(8.x), there is no menu option to change the port. This means this answer is no longer valid.
