How does Skype potentially affect port 80 and xampp's operation?

Skype potentially affects port 80 by using it as a default port for incoming connections, which can conflict with XAMPP's operation since XAMPP also uses port 80 for serving web pages. To solve this issue, you can change the port that XAMPP uses for Apache to a different port, such as 8080, to avoid conflicts with Skype. 

// Locate and open the httpd.conf file in the XAMPP installation directory
// Search for "Listen 80" and change it to "Listen 8080"
// Save the file and restart Apache in XAMPP
