Virginner, I just installed XAMPP.. after installation was complete got
prompte whether I wanted to install Apache "as a service" -- wasn't sure
what to do, said yes, but got error: "Apache SSL Port 443 is blcoked --
install of Apache Service failed" what does it mean exactly to install
something "as a service" don't remember being asked that w/Tomcat.. I
said "no" on FTP service, b/c already have an FTP client, then realized
it wanted to install FTP **server** as a service, so can I do this after
everything is installed.. again, need to know exactly what it means to
install "as a service" is this normal installation, if so why do you get
asked... thanks again..

Frances
