Apache work on port 80 by default and https work on 443. If you are running some applications which are using these ports already, then apache will give error and will not start..
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs

Just open
C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
And find
#Listen 0.0.0.0:80 #Listen [::]:80 Listen 80
And change to
Listen 85
Then open
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
Find
#Listen 0.0.0.0:443 #Listen [::]:443 Listen 443
Change to
Listen 4443
Try to start apache now, it should work fine.
p.s. It is not necessary to use port 85 and 4443, you can use any port for them as you want

Interesting article. The article took a lot of thought, which
makes reading it more interesting. I may return and take a look at what
else you have to write.
Awesome, Changing config file starts apache service without any problem.
Thanks dude.
helped a lot
thanks!
just download this free tool CurrPorts . it tell you which application using this your 443 port or whatever it is. and you just stop t he process.
second thing is if it show you the port is busy then go task manager and go to process and see the port number and the process which holds the port .just stop process and its done .its applicable in case of error: os 10048
now enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
