  <ol start="2">
  <li><p>change the configurations of ports in httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf tried different ports like 1337 and 7331 , 3333 and 4444 , 81 and 444 and many others but no luck.</p></li>
  <li><p>Tried disabling IIS as recommended in forums but again no luck.</p></li>
  <li><p>Stopped Web Client in Services but no solution also recommended to check the path of mysql and apache services in services tab but there is no mysql and apache services in services tab.</p></li>

  <p>Am I missing any configuration or is it virtual machine problem.</p>
