"Process 'Apache web server' failed to start. Port 8083 didn't open" I'm trying to install Acquia Deve Desktop 2 for my windows 10 PC. When it's finished installing and I run the program, an error pop up message shows up saying Process 'Apache web server' failed to start. Port 8083 didn't open.



I should point out that I do have XAMPP installed in my PC, but I also read in the documentation that even if you have XAMPP installed, it won't interfere.
What am I doing wrong here?
I just want my Drupal websites to load faster because on XAMPP they're pretty slow.
Sounds like there is a port conflict or a hiccup in Acquia Dev Desktop.

Try a reboot. This might fix an Acquia hiccup.
Since you already have XAMPP configured and working the way you want change, I'd suggest changing the Acquia Dev Desktop port.

Here's how:

Open Acquia Dev Deskop
On the menu bar, click &quot;Acquia Dev Desktop&quot;, then &quot;Preferences....&quot;
Click on the &quot;Ports&quot; tab (2nd tab)
Change the &quot;Apache port&quot; to another another number. Eg. &quot;8087&quot;
Click &quot;OK&quot;
You will need to restart the Apache server. You could click the &quot;Stop&quot; -&gt; &quot;Start&quot; button. I prefer to close and re-open Acquia Dev Desktop.

No need to learn/install another DEV environment or change an already setup one (XAMPP)
