Apache Friends Support Forum

I have been working on a web site for charity localhost using XAMPP. I believe after an automatic upgrade to WINSP3 I am now unable to get my apache or mysql service running. Error APACHE Service not start [-1]. Tried what was suggested on another help site which was to disable the Windows firewall and restart XAMPP - this still does not work. Is there anyone who can help me - I would really like to get XAMPP working with the firewall enabled and retain SP3 if possible... HELP PLEASE!!!

Thanks

Start the Apache with the batch file in the xampp folder xampp\apache_start.bat
It will tell you what's the problem.

Hi Glitzi

Thanks for the reply. Have had to reinstall XAMPP to get it to work. Luckily it is though... Phew!!! Thanks again.
