APACHE needs port 80 - MAMP

Question

I want to run MAMP on my Windows 8.1 pc, but when I start the servers, it says:

\'APACHE\' needs open port \'80\' which is already being used by another 
service         


        

Answer 1

IN CASE YOU ALREADY TURNED SKYPE OFF AND THE ERROR STILL APPEARS, just try stopping the server and closing MAMP, then go to MAMP\db\mysql and delete the following files:

mysql-bin.index

ib_logfile0

ib_logfile1 files

The MySQL Server should now connect succesfully with the port 80!
