Xampp 1.8.1: Apache cannot start in port 8080, which is being used by tomcat 7

问题

I am using XAMPP1.8.1 but while starting it, the apache service is not starting because of port 8080 being used by Tomcat 7,

when used: netstat -aon | findstr "8080" to find the process it showed Apache Tomcat Tomcat7 is using 8080.

for last 1 month the apache was working fine.

The error shown in XAMPP control panel is :

4:20:14 PM  [main]  Initializing Modules

4:20:14 PM  [Apache]    **Problem detected!**

4:20:14 PM  [Apache]    **Port 80 in use by "system"!**

回答1:

You have two options over here. 1.You probably need to kill the process which is using the 8080 port[apache tomcat]if you want 8080 port only. 2.Assign a new port address to XAMPP server.

回答2:

stop the tomcat7 and try to restart the apache server, sometimes system services like skype may also use the same port number. disable all other programs first and run the apache.
