Done.


Here is the solution step-by-step:

  1. Open up httpd-ssl.conf in path2xampp\apache\conf\extra
  2. Look for the line Listen 443
  3. Change port number to anything you want. I use 4430. ex. Listen 4430.
  4. Replace every 443 string in that file with 4430.
  5. Save the file.


Run vmware as administrator in windows or as root in linux. Then ctrl+P to open preferences. then on shared vms. You can see a port number 443 by default. This is conflicting with apache that is why it is not starting. Change it to some other value say 8443. Then try to start apache it will run.
