I had Apache installed on my Win. XP and wanted to install XAMPP but now Apache doesn't seem to work no more.

XAMPP control panel gives me this error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Apache service not started [-1]

I checked apache witch I had installed before but as far as I can see I deleted all the files manually.

You have deleted the files, but not the Windows service.

Make a (in cmd.exe):

Code: Select all

sc delete apache

then reinstall the service with "apache_installservice.bat" in "\xampp\apache".

tryed it gives me the following:

Code: Select all

C:\Ducuments and Settings\Administrator>cd..

C:\Ducuments and Settings>cd..

C:\>sc delete apache
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:

Seems it can't find it ore something.

Hm. Or is the service name "Apache2"? Try:

Code: Select all

sc delete Apache2

Code: Select all

[SC] DeleteService SUCCESS
