Cannot start apache webserver after installation

After the installation the apache webserver didn't worked because it said that the port neccessary is blocked. But I didn't know why or which other program is using that port.

Try FPort

This program will show you all currently used ports and the applications which use that ports.

You may get the program here: http://www.foundstone.com/us/resources/termsofuse.asp?file=fport.zip

Turning of the skype option to use port 80 and 443 for alternative connections

After a short search on the internet I found out that I had the same problem like many people often too: skype is blocking the port for the apache. I thougt that it uses a "very high" port, that's right but there is also the option that it uses the ports 80 and 443 as alternative ports for incoming connections. So I turned that option off, did a new start of skype and it worked.
