Altrea wrote:what is the output of the apache_start.bat script?

Hi there!
Sorry for the late reply. I was struggling a long time with this, but I found out what was the issue. What I did was the following:

1) I downloaded the XAMPP portable version as a zip file
2) I unzipped the file and placed the folder in some custom folder structure
3) I couldn't understand why I got these error messages when I tried to start Apache / MySQL
4) I did try to start Apache and MySQL from the Control Panel. After some troubleshooting I tried to start the two modules with the apache_start.bat and mysql_start.bat files directly instead. Then I got a clue that the paths defined in the configuration files was not correct.
5) I ran the setup_xampp.bat, so the folder settings was configured to point at the custom folder ... and voila everything worked as it should.

If anyone else reads this; As far as I have understood this, the portable version comes with some default paths set in the configuration files. If you run the installer those paths will probably (?) be set during that process. If you just download the .zip file instead and does not run the software from the default location, you need to run the setup_xampp.bat file first.

I am pretty sure this is a common misunderstanding for several people using XAMPP, so hopefully my post can also help someone else that had missed this detail.

Cheers.

Hi,

First try to identify the real issue. We cannot provide any help here, because all needed information is missing.
Please start reading here to know which information we need: [Q&A] Insufficient debug information - Apache starting issue

Without any further information its impossible to determine.

Is it locally stored music?
Is it music via internet stream?
Which player?
Which kind of music. which kind of audio codec?

What do you mean by "i use Xampp"??

Xampp is only a distribution of webserver packages. "Using" Xampp means to start Apache. Or what??
Do you have any public sites on your Xampp server?
What do you do before the music becomes unstable?

Please explain way more precise what you are doing and what is happening.

Warum hilfst Du ihm denn nicht? Weil Du zu dumm bist? Weil Du keine Ahnung hast? Beides? Ich habe von Dir noch nicht einen einzigen hilfreichen Beitrag gelesen, ich habe dagegen schon tausenden(!) von Anwendern geholfen. Wieso Du nicht?

My Apache still will not start using XAMPP.

Altrea - You ever going to help this guy or just try and keep bashing me?

Enough info for ya?

Neuner wrote:I gave enough info for the other forums and they resolved my problem with one response.

No, you did not provide enough information, at least not here. The proof is that your original obscured configuration and your current obscured configuration are nearly identical. If you remove the anonymized parts, the remaining parts that are different don't contain any fix for the issues you reported, not for the "wrong page is shown", and not for the "Apache refuses to start" problem.
I don't blame you, you simply don't have an idea or any knowledge to rate that.

Neuner wrote:If I didn't provide enough you should have asked.

We did asked for the original configuration. You just didn't want to provide that information.

Neuner wrote:You were so caught up in knowing the website name that you didn't want to see the question I thoughtfully put together.

I really don't care about anybodys Homepage, domain names or anything. You have had problems with your configuration, so we need to know the configuration. It is simply fact that in most cases the problem is a type in the domain name, DocumentRoot path or similar parts of the configuration. It is very likely that this was true for your issue true. That would explain why your old and your new configuration does not contain any obvious reason for your issue.

Neuner wrote:I made the change to *:443 but I still get the same error and Apache won't start.

Which error? You did not apply any error message before, instead you told that Apache started but delivered the Xampp page instead of yours. Your explanation is still very poor.

Look into the error log. What does it say?

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:443>

The Domain of the VirtualHost is defined by the "ServerName" and NOT(!) by the name in the VirtualHost Definition.

But we still are missing a VirtualHost for Port 80 (http:)?!

I made the change to *:443 but I still get the same error and Apache won't start.

my VirtualHost for Port 80 which works is as follows;

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/website-example"
  ServerName website-example.org
</VirtualHost>


Hallo,

ich hab seit Jahren wieder mal Xampp neu heruntergeladen..

Beim Start vom Controlpanel kam die Fehlermeldung vowegen Port 3306 ist belegt.
Hab den Port dann auf 3307 umgestellt und Mysql ist gestartet.
Dann Apache gestartet und Localhost aufgerufen, alles kein Problem.

Erst beim anklicken von phpmyadmin kamen die Fehlermeldungen..

- MySQL meldet: Dokumentation
Die Verbindung konnte aufgrund von ungültigen Einstellungen nicht hergestellt werden.

- mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

- Verbindung für den controluser, wie er in Ihrer Konfiguration angegeben ist, ist fehlgeschlagen.

- phpMyAdmin hat versucht eine Verbindung zum MySQL-Server aufzubauen und die Verbindung wurde zurückgewiesen. Sie sollten Ihre Einstellungen für Host, Benutzername und Passwort in Ihrer config.inc.php überprüfen und sich vergewissern, dass diese den Informationen, die Sie vom Administrator erhalten haben, entsprechen.
-mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

So, nun steh ich an und weis nicht weiter, zumal von Server, Mysql etc. wenig bis gar keine Ahnung habe.
Ich weis nur früher war es einfacher, zumindest hatte ich diese Fehler nicht und ich musste auch nichts ein oder umstellen...

So could it be an Apache that is part of the OS and is being automatically started when I login? It doesn't happen with my Silico Mac.

As an Apple user, I believe the larger issue is some of the documentation on the Mac side of things. Following some procedures simply does not work, or what is advertised as included is not actually included...

So, I am scratching my head over a problem that occured two days ago. I am not able to start Apache on my XAMPP portable installation. I try to start it from the Control Panel but it just stops again with the message: Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. Most of the articles describing this problem assumes that the ports that Apache is trying to listening to is in use by some other program on the computer and that you have a port conflict. Then the suggestion is to change the Apache port to something else. I've run netstat and I am absolutely sure that I don't have anything on my computer with a listening port of 80/443. Just for the fun of it I stll changed the port number to something else, so we can rule out that option.

I can't really see something useful in the event log or apachelog either. Anyone have som tips to how to troubleshoot this?

Hi

Anyone know how i can achieve it? I have XAMPP running on my Windows system. I have created a shared folder on the NAS, and have also Mapped it as a drive on the computer

When i change the httpd.conf and the ssl one.. change the Directory root to the mapped drive letter, Apache doesnt start.

Any clue?
I've searched a LOT before posting this. thanks.

Hello there !

This is my first post on this forum and I would like to say Hello to everybody ...

I have a strange problem with my XAMPP / MySQL :

Yesterday evening, all works well ... (I'm working on an "local" version of my actual site ...)
After working, I stop MySQL, stop Apache, quit XAMPP and stop my PC.

This morning I try to restart everything and .... HORROR it doesn't works anymore.

I certainly "touch" something by mistake, but I don't now what ...

1:52:58 PM [main] Executing "services.msc"


When I check the Apache error logs there are none found- it opens up a blank notepad document. I uninstalled skype and now see that nginx.exe is in port 80 and port 443.... Is this the right software? If so, why can I not get Apache to run even after uninstalling skype? I'm wildly uneducated on these matters and am struggling to run XAMPP on my windows because of the reasons shown above. Would love some help or direction to step by step instructions on a fix, thanks in advanced!

Hi, I'm new to XAMPP. I've got two laptops, one running Linux Mint 23.1 (based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) and one running Fedora 39. I downloaded the exact same installer on both machines: xampp-linux-x64-8.2.12-0-installer.run.

After installation, everything works perfectly on the Linux Mint machine. I tried the commands to start and stop XAMPP as well as launching the graphical tool from the FAQs for Linux page, and everything works.

On the Fedora machine, however, I get the following error message when attempting to start or stop XAMPP:

Code: Select all

egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.

I searched the forum before posting and I found a couple of previous posts from other users with the same error message, however I didn't see any post that had a solution for it. I'm particularly confused by the "only available as 32 bit application" message, since I used the 64 bit installer on a 64 bit operating system.

Launching the graphical tool in Fedora does work, but attempting to start the servers that way gives a different error. When I click the start button on the Manage Servers tab, the Apache Web Server dot turns briefly from red to orange, but then goes back to red again. Under the Application log tab, the message is as follows:

Code: Select all

Starting Apache Web Server...
Exit code: 8
Stdout:
apache config test fails, aborting
Stderr:
/opt/lampp/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Since everything works fine on Mint, I'm assuming the issue is something with Fedora, rather than with XAMPP itself or the installer. But I can't figure it out. Has anyone solved this error on Fedora, or have any suggestions?

Many thanks!
