Apache Friends Support Forum

this is weird!!

i am a windows 7 user and completely new to xampp i.e (apache and php).

1. i installed oracle 10g enterprise edition first and then xampp 1.72 package.
2. when i tried starting apache and mySql through the xampp control panel, mySql started fine but the apache service started for a second and then stopped.
3. this happens every time and i am not able to run any php file or the xampp package using localhost server in my browser(IE and Chrome).
4. all my ports are free i.e 80,81,443 required for apache.
5. when i try starting the apache service in the control panel, It says "WARNING: terminating worker thread 0, APACHE started".
6. when i started the apache_start.bat file,it only said "apache not started".

Is this because of oracle installed or is there some other problem because i can' afford to remove any of the 2( i need both oracle and xampp for my work at college).

i am a student and i am preparing for oracle certification and doing a project using the xampp.

PLEASE HELP ASAP.

6. when i started the apache_start.bat file,it only said "apache not started".

Something in the "error.log"?

in the error.log, following message is repeated:

thanx wiedmann

The link u gave me actually helped me and made my apache running.
The 'cmd.exe' file given by 'Noobie' solved my problem.

Thanx

but its a temporary solution.
i have to run the cmd.exe every time i run xampp.

isn't there any permanent solution to the problem.

Which "cmd.exe" did you mean?

this is the link to the file

http://www.deathbysoftware.com/solutions/xampp.php

And why did you use this "cmd.exe"?

it said that it solved the problem for that guy and so i tried it my pc and it actually solved my problem and made apache running but it was till my xampp was running.
as soon as i close my xampp, and start it again,the problem with apache again arises and i have to run the cmd.exe file again to run the apache again.

Maybe that was the reason that I have given you a link to a (correct) working solution?
