I just installed XAMPP and when I press Start next to Apache, in the feed back it says:
Busy...
Apache started [port 80]
However Apache is not running. The "Running" status doesn't appear, its button doesn't change and only stays at "Start", and there is no Apache process in Windows Task Manager.
The other software My Sql, Mercury, etc. are running as expected.
What could be wrong?
Recently I had a fresh reinstall of Windows XP and after that I changed to disabled or manual status some XP services that I believed were not essential. Could it be that Apache needs certain XP services to run?
Please help.
