Looks like a matter of changing the ports in your errors


Try this and let us know whether it works.

Did you change both the ports listed?

Port 443 in use by "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" with PID 1

Try changing that one too.

[jydmon]

Please can you advise on how I can open skype.exe?

[cptr13]

No. Just make sure you change the ports that are conflicting in xampp to different ports. You don't need to change anything else

[jydmon]

It now works. Thank you

[cptr13]

Ok great thanks for letting us know

This link doesn't work even though I followed the right steps. Please help

[cptr13]

Did you rename the opencats directory in xampp?
