I have Windows 7 (32-bit) installed on laptop.
I downloaded WAMP server and installed it with it's default options.
However, I noticed that Apache does not work (while MySQL does work!).
I tried to install it via Apache → Service → Install Service and got a message saying that port 80 is taken by Skype. I turned off Skype, and then Apache started to work.
How can I avoid this conflict and allow WAMP and Skype to work simultaneously?
Should I configure Apache to work with other port? Where?

It says that whatever port is used by Apache (Wamp server) is currently used by some other service, so if you want to start the Apache service then you have to changethe port of this Wampserver service. Now for changing the port you have to go to Wampserver menu => Apache. Open httpd. conf file.
Open skype. Go to Tools, Options, Connections, change the port.
To shut down WampServer, click on the systray icon and select Stop All Services to shut down the Apache and MySQL services. The icon will turn red once all services have been shut down. Next you will right-click on the WampServer systray icon and click Exit to close the program.
You can now start the WampServer by double-clicking on the shortcut WampServer icon on your desktop. Services – You can see the options to start, stop and restart all services by left-clicking on the WampServer icon. Change Database – Right-click on the WAMP icon to open the tools dialog box.
In Skype:
Go to Tools → Options → Advanced → Connections and uncheck the box use port 80 and 443 as alternative. This should help.
As Salman Quader said: In the updated skype(8.x), there is no menu option to change the port. This means this answer is no longer valid.
