错误：Apache意外关闭。 更改了端口，仍然无法正常工作

Question

I installed XAMPP and for some reason when I start running Apache, it doesn't run. I'm not using Skype and also changed the port from 80 to 8080,7777. But nothing seems to work. Also when I try opening the logs, they are empty.

The detailed error which I get is as follows

10:29:55 PM  [Apache]   Attempting to start Apache app...
10:29:55 PM  [Apache]   Status change detected: running
10:29:57 PM  [Apache]   Status change detected: stopped

Please someone help

Answer 1

好吧，以某种方式重新安装XAMPP对我有用。

Answer 2

Be sure to install (or unzip) the xampp folder to the root directory (C:\\). It helped me even when Skype was listening on the same port apache still would boot up.

Than it is good practise to change http port and ssl port to some different number up to 65535. You have to change it in 3 steps:

1) In Config Panel -> Service and Port Settings -> Main Port & SSL Port

2) Apache (httpd.conf)

3) Apache (httpd-ssl.conf)
