Apache/XAMPP + Skype

Just a quick note that I always forget. If you’re doing web development on a machine that has Skype, make sure you go Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connections and untick the “Skype uses port 80 & 443″ option.

Otherwise Skype will use those ports meaning Apache wont be able to start without rebinding to another port (which is annoying).
