Hi, mab
Thank you for the prompt reply, it's highly appreciated.
I've unchecked 80 and 443 ports usage on Skype & restarted the machine, so changes should be picked up.
Then I run netstat -ao - no signs og the 80 port usage, but apache service failed to start.
I've changed the port apache uses making modifications in the httpd.conf file as follows:
replaced Listen 80 to Listen 3128
and replaced ServerName localhost:80 to ServerName localhost:3128
saved httpd.conf
run httpd.exe -k start
This time no errors appear in the command line window, but standard Windows "Please Tell Misrosoft about this problem" window poped up and of course apache didn't start again.
System error log has the following errors:
Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.2.6.0, faulting module libhttpd.dll, version 2.2.6.0, fault address 0x0001ad37.
No luck
