xampp server error in Apache

Question

I've installed xampp server but when I click on mysql admin button it shows me an error:

and also I changed Apache port 80 to another number but Apache doesn't start and it shows me like this:

Attempting to start Apache service... 6:26:01 PM [Apache] Status change detected: running 6:26:05 PM [Apache] Status change detected: stopped 6:26:05 PM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. 6:26:05 PM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 6:26:05 PM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method. 6:26:05 PM [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check 6:26:05 PM [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues 6:26:05 PM [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this 6:26:05 PM [Apache] entire log window on the forums

Answer 1

You have something else on your machine using port 80, the same one Apache is trying to use. You have two choices:

1. Stop the other service using port 80.
2. Give Apache a different port number (like 8080) in the XAMPP application.

Answer 2

As you can see

6:26:05 PM  [Apache]    Status change detected: stopped

Apache is not running, so the error you see on the screen is not related to mysql, but to Apache. Go into the configuration panel of xampp and change ports, some software like Skype use 433 port (web ssl), so then Apache couldn't start.

You can change the port with, for example, 8080.

Then, go to http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin

And you're done.
