Xampp Error you need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application



While installing Xampp on windows i got the following error

[Apache]    Problem detected!
[Apache]    Port 443 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4!
[Apache]    Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
[Apache]    You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
[Apache]    or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port
 
----------------------------------
 
So what I did to resolve this error , I went to Apache (httpd.conf) and changed the port number 
from 80 to 1337 or any other number you like, For this find the line
 
Listen 80 and change it to
Listen 1337 
 
 
For Apache (Httpd.conf) 
on your XAMPP control panel, 
          next to apache, select the "Config" option and select the first file (httpd.conf):

Save the File

Then open the file "Apache (httpd-ssl.conf)" find this following Line
 
Listen 443
  
  
Just change it to something like 7331.
 
Close the Xammp and then rerun it again. 

Its done

Sometime you may need to go to user account control and disable the UAC and then follow the 
above procedure
