Apache Friends Support Forum

Tried to activate the eaccelerator by removing the semicolons in each line. It says to restart the Apache HTTPD. I hit the stop button and then the start Apache button the Apache will start and then a second later it will stop. Am I restarting the Apache HTTPD right?

Also in my php.ini file it has eaccelerator.optimizer = "1" set as 0 I have tried it both ways and still the same result.

I've followed the directions here http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-windows.html#mmcache

Help please thank you.

Oh by the way I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.

When ever Apache has difficulty starting try starting it with the C:\xampp\apache_start.bat file (you may have to right click and select run as administrator in Vista) which often gives you feed back as to why it won't start.

BTW what version of XAMPP and did you install the recent xampp-patch2-win32-1.7.0 if you are using 1.7.0?

The Patch will fix a bug that crashes Apache when eaccelerator is enabled.

Or you could simply upgrade to XAMPP 1.7.1 from the XAMPP for Windows Home Page.

Please let us know back how you get on that it might help others with a similar issue.
Thanks.

was using version 1.7.0, upgraded to version 1.7.1 Apache will now start. Thank you!
