My Apache still will not start through the XAMPP Control Panel, but now I think I have an idea why.

When I open the XAMPP Control Panel (always in Administrator Mode; thanks, tarau), the log section in the control panel window includes, in red,...

2:49:58 AM [Apache] Apache Service detected with wrong path
2:49:58 AM [Apache] Change XAMPP Apache and Control Panel settings or
2:49:58 AM [Apache] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
2:49:58 AM [Apache] Found Path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Promise\Pegasus Utility\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
2:49:58 AM [Apache] Expected Path: "i:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice

So, Apache was already installed earlier on the startup (C:) drive of my computer. But, I'm trying to have Apache, MySQL and the rest of the XAMPP apps reside on my separate (I:) drive, because I want to use that I: drive to build my new websites offline with WordPress.

I suppose I could uninstall/remove the copy of Apache that's on the C: drive. However, given its location in the Promise and Promise Utility folders, I think my Promise Pegasus RAID drive relies on it. I need my RAID to be available at all times. Therefore, I don't really want to tamper with any files related to it, including that copy of Apache.

So, how do I instruct the XAMPP Control Panel, which I have installed on my I: drive, to ignore the version of Apache that is on my C: drive and use only the one on my I: drive?

I completely uninstalled then reinstalled XAMPP on my external USB drive. Now I am able to start MySQL from inside the XAMPP control panel, but I still can't start Apache. The log at the bottom half of the panel states "Attempting to start Apache service..." and nothing more. All this while running the XAMPP control panel as an administrator.

Any more suggestions on how to start Apache?

Hi all, I'm new to XAMPP. Just installed version 8.1.2, and the one thing I needed to change was the port number, from 80 to 90, because IIS is already using port 80.
Now I am bemused by the Apache startup still giving an error about port 80 being in use, saying it will not start Apache, then proceed to start it and it works just fine on port 90 !

13:40:09 [main] Control Panel Ready
13:43:11 [Apache] Problem detected!
13:43:11 [Apache] Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4!
13:43:11 [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
13:43:11 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application

13:43:11 [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...

Not at all a problem, just wondering. I hate unexplained messages.

Hi, there is not enough information to suggest something specific, but I would uninstall Xampp through the Windows app uninstall process, then restart the computer and reinstall again.
This time, however, if you haven't done it earlier, stick to the default installation process.
Also, make sure you start Xampp with admin permissions.
What I usually do when I install a new instance of Xampp,
I right-click on xamp-control.exe in the Xampp folder,
then, select Properties/compatibility,
and check the box to make "run as administrator" permanent.

Hello.

I would like to install WordPress on my local Windows 11 workstation so I can design and try out new websites without immediately posting to an online and public hosting service.

To that end, I installed XAMPP on one of my computer's hard drives. However, the Apache module will not start. Every time I try to start Apache the log in the bottom portion of the control panel has a line that states "Attempting to start Apache service..." and nothing more. And I can't connect to my localhost using any of my browsers.

I tried to change, via the Config button, the port associated with Apache but that didn't work.

What suggestions do you have for how to fix this issue?

My basic issue is to create a cert with Open SSl on the apache and activate the ssl support and get apache running with it.
But I cannot get in running. I have successfully created the two files (cert and key) and activated it in the con files as descrivbed in several forums but after activating, apache does not start.

I use XAMPP 8.2.4 running on an intranet Server (Windows Server 2019) for Intranet use only. No access from Web necessary.
We use basically Microsoft Edge to access it but also firefox from windos clients and also want to access from mobiles (IOS,Android) via WLAN. Edge and also firefox require certs for ssl since they tell, that the page is not secure.
I have tried several hints from forums but all w/o success. the last caused apache not starting anymore.
So I had to switch back eliminate the include for the ssl support to make it start again.

Now my question:
Has somebody did it with success and can give me a step by step decription, how to easily activate
SSL and creating a selfsigning cert with openssl for the Apache without expiry if possible.
I want to force https requests in future and deny non ssl

The computer is member of a windows domain and has a DNS name and static IP
Access only via LAN- or VPN-Intranet connection.

Thanks in advance

Ich begann mit dem Port-Forwarding auf der Vodafone Station unter kabelbox.local, einloggen, evtl. oben links auf Experten-Modus ändern, dann Registerkarte Internet, Port-Forwarding, unter Port-Forwarding auf das + klicken, Gerät auswählen, passenden Dienstnamen, Protokoll TCP/UDP, Port-Bereich WAN und LAN bspw. 444-499, Anwenden. Auf den passenden Switch klicken, dass er grün wird.

Xampp wird wunderbar durch cmd => winget install ApacheFriends.Xampp.X.X installiert und über winget upgrade aktualisiert. Einmal gestartet kann man über Config, Service and Port Settings, Registerkarte Apache den Main Port sowie SSL Port auf eine etwas seltenere Port-Nummer ändern, bspw. 444 und 446, Save, Save. Evtl. vorher Change Language auf Deutsch aber ganz ehrlich, für jeden Tipp, den man erhält, ist es besser alles auf Englisch zu belassen.

Dann Module Apache Config, die httpd.conf öffnet sich und unter Listen bspw. 444 eingeben, unter httpd-ssl.conf kann man Listen zu 446 ändern. Start. Im Browser unter localhost:Portnummer sieht man wunderbar die XAMPP-localhost-Page. Aber von außen komme ich nicht durch. Wo klemmt es?

Hi all,

i have an issue with XAMPP.

-- created a snapshot, when all is working --
Currently we are running some websites using XAMPP and it is running at the moment.
But i need to downgrade the php version. https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/requirements
We are now on php version 8.2.0 and want to go to 8.0.30/


So i have download the correct XAMPP version.
Extracted the files, created a copy of the current apache and php version _old renamed.
then in php folder php.ini file modified all the fields for \xampp to e:\xampp

then i want to start the apache server and the mysql. but once i want to start apache, it was like this

so i tried to change the https.ssl.conf file under Listen it was 443, so i changed it to 4434. Apache starts, but then the rest of the websites is not working anymore, and all the websites going to the xampp dashboard.

i made xamp control as an auto startup at the beginning it was apache active auto ans my sql has problems and after its stopped working even apache
now both not opening auto

anyone can help me

Hi,

Im currently learning to use xampp for school so sorry if i make mistakes with wording!

Problem:
The first time xampp virtual hosting worked. It showed my folder and i could click thru it and open my php files. Now when i open my laptop after everything has been turned off, it says error 403 access denied (ofcourse i turn on xampp and start the apache server). But i don't understand why, seen as i am on the same laptop and there is only one account on here.

Ive changed these files:
httpd.conf
httpd-vhosts.conf
And i've added the servername thru sudo nano command in the terminal.

httpd.conf file:

Code: Select all

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned. 
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so 'log/access_log'
# with ServerRoot set to '/www' will be interpreted by the
# server as '/www/log/access_log', where as '/log/access_log' will be
# interpreted as '/log/access_log'.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the
# Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used.  If you wish to share the
# same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at
# least PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles"

#
# Mutex: Allows you to set the mutex mechanism and mutex file directory
# for individual mutexes, or change the global defaults
#
# Uncomment and change the directory if mutexes are file-based and the default
# mutex file directory is not on a local disk or is not appropriate for some
# other reason.
#
# Mutex default:logs

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config

# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.

in the terminal i added:

to the list of host databases.

I have been looking al over the internet and on these forums but nothing seems to be working. I have changed permissions on the file im trying to get to but it does nothing. If anyone knows what im doing wrong please tell me and if i need to give more information please ask. I really need this to work cause otherwise im screwed for school :/

Thank you,

Sorry, we probably made a mistake, and this is a bug.

Your assistance in bug reporting will enable us to fix this for the next release.
To report this bug, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs

We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

Server version: 10.4.32-MariaDB source revision: c4143f909528e3fab0677a28631d10389354c491
key_buffer_size=16777216
read_buffer_size=262144
max_used_connections=0
max_threads=65537
thread_count=6
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 20304 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
