Answer 2

Connecting to shared virtual machines

Connection to VMware Workstation Server (the shared virtual machines) is administered by the VMware Host Agent service. The service uses TCP ports 80 and 443. This service is also used by other VMware products, including VMware Server and vSphere, and provides additional capabilities. Configuring shared virtual machines

With the Shared VMs Workstation preferences, you can disable/enable the server, assign a different port for connecting, and change the Shared VMs directory.

To access the Shared VMs Workstation preferences:

Go to Edit > Preferences.
Click the Shared VMs tab.

Answer 3

Run XAMPP Control Panel as Administrator if using Windows 7 or more. Windows may block access to ports if not accessed by adminstrator user.

Answer 4

It's easier to change the port in VMware Workstation:

1. Edit > Preferences;
2. Shared VMs tab;
3. Disable;
4. Change port;
5. Enable.

Done.

Answer 5

Run vmware as administrator in windows or as root in linux. Then ctrl+P to open preferences. then on shared vms. You can see a port number 443 by default. This is conflicting with apache that is why it is not starting. Change it to some other value say 8443. Then try to start apache it will run.

Answer 6

Here is the solution step-by-step:

1. Open up httpd-ssl.conf in path2xampp\apache\conf\extra
2. Look for the line Listen 443
3. Change port number to anything you want. I use 4430. ex. Listen 4430.
4. Replace every 443 string in that file with 4430.
5. Save the file.
