  • Shut down one when using another I guess? That being said I find it hard to believe there would be a conflict..how do you know there is? – lobster1234 Apr 27 '11 at 02:55

Generally If you have installed Skype with WAMP and if you run Skype before WAMP, you can not get WAMP Apache running. Because both use port 80, there is a conflict.

So before running WAMP be sure that your Skype is disconnected. You can log on Skype after you started WAMP .

In Skype if you click "tools " then "Options > Advanced > Connection" or "Connection options ..." and connection down the left,,

un-tick the check-box : "use port 80 and 443 as alternative incoming ports"

The problem should be fixed

In your Case You might want to backup Wamp's data (don't forget Mysql and www directory), uninstall the WAMP and install fresh WAMPServer again.

In skype >> Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connections and uncheck the box "use port 80 and 443 as alternative".
