Apache Friends Support Forum

I have a win98 on my C: drive and WinXP sp2 on my F: drive. I want to use xampp(apache) on my winXP os but apache is not starting. In the past it warked fine for me with my WinXP on C: drive but now I cant get apache started... I think that apache only works if C: is your main os partition and xampp is on C:\xampp.

but apache is not starting.

Why not?

There is another server running on your pc.

chacked twice in Services and there is no apache, ... in iexplore writing localhost on the adress bar : "The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." ... could oracle for windown NT be the problem?(as far as I remember I had this problem before installing oracle client)

I don't talk about another Apache. I talk about another server (this must not be Apache).

try running the xampp-portcheck.exe (in the xampp folder) it will show you if anything eles is using port 80 etc.

All done! there was this Skype that used port 80, now apache starts. 10x to all
