Hello Akanksha,
Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.
If ports 80 and 443 appear not to be open, please try the following::
- Check for conflicting applications: Make sure there are no other applications or services running on your computer that are already using port 80 and/or 443. Some common applications that use these ports include web servers (e.g., Apache, IIS), Skype, or other communication tools. If any of these applications are running, try stopping them temporarily and then attempt the software installation again.
- Verify firewall settings: In addition to opening the ports in the Windows Firewall, you should also check if you have any third-party security software installed that might be blocking the ports. Temporarily disable or configure your firewall or security software to allow incoming connections on ports 80 and 443. Consult the documentation of your specific firewall or security software for instructions on how to do this.
- Restart your router: Sometimes, router configurations can cause port-related issues. Try restarting your router to refresh its settings and see if that resolves the problem.
- Use a different network: If possible, try connecting your laptop to a different network, such as a different Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot, and attempt the software installation there. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your current network configuration.
- Temporarily disable VPN: If you're using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection, temporarily disable it and then try the installation again. VPNs can sometimes interfere with port access and cause connectivity issues.
