Same for me. Windows diagnostics could not find the problem. When doing local development with the full install of XAMPP I had to make changes to the ports because of conflicts with other software. Could this be the case here, too? If so, how are those changes made, since there is no control panel for Xampplite? I have searched the online documentation for ServerPress and have found no information like this.

UPDATE: See this article, and follow the link that is in it. https://serverpress.com/forums/topic/every-time-i-install-i-get-the-same-error/ Solved my problem.

OK, so I got mine working by uninstalling XAMPP full version that was on laptop and uninstalled the wordpress server. I then found out that port 80 was in use, the same port that Xampplite is trying to use. Upon doing a port searching with the CMD command:

From a command prompt: Start | Run (type) cmd (click Ok) or Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

Type the following and press enter:

netstat -b -a

I found that my system was using port 80. This you cannot terminate so I found the below:

CMD command: net stop http

Solved my error, then I was able to install again and worked.

Agreed about the XAMPP conflict. It's covered in the article, too.
