How to stop VMware port error of 443 on XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.1
When I run XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.1 I get this error:
07:37:24 [Apache] Problem detected!
07:37:24 [Apache] Port 443 in use by ""C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-hostd.exe" -u "C:\ProgramData\VMware\hostd\config.xml"" with PID 2148!
07:37:24 [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
07:37:24 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
07:37:24 [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port
I could not fix it myself. Getting help soon will be thankful.
It's easier to change the port in VMware Workstation:
- Edit > Preferences;
- Shared VMs tab;
- Disable;
- Change port;
- Enable.
Done.
Here is the solution step-by-step:
- Open up
httpd-ssl.conf
inpath2xampp\apache\conf\extra
- Look for the line
Listen 443
- Change port number to anything you want. I use
4430
. ex.Listen 4430
. - Replace every
443
string in that file with4430
. - Save the file.
- and, Finally restart your apache.
- done.
