Apache Friends Support Forum

No matter what I do, I can't get anything to stay running after I click the "Start" button to start it, it says it started, and then it changes back to the "Start" button instead of staying as "Stop"...Why is this??

Go to your base install directory and run apache_start.exe, then right click, click Mark Highlight the whole thing, and press enter. This will copy it, then paste it back here.

The default base install directory is C:\xampp\

So if that is it, run this exe: C:\xampp\apache_start.exe and do what I said above

Hmm..It seems when I installed Apache as a service, it fixed itself...Thx all for your help though..Will keep your suggestions in mind for future problems
