Try resetting the ports and than make sure that the defaut. that sets apache and nginx servers both to port 80.

Change the one you dont need to a port number that you know that won't be used at all.

When I set the nginx port to 80 it didn't work, but when I set the apache: 80, nginx: 7888, and MySql: 3306 that's when it finally worked
