What does the C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log file have to say why Apache can't start?

That shows a [notice] related to each successful event associated with the stopping processes of Apache, not what we are looking for..

What you need to look for is an [error] sequence of events at about the date and time that you last tried to Start Apache after the error message that it can't start is offered.


To help you easily do this first make sure that Apache is not running.

Then open and delete the contents of the error.log file, then close and save the file.
Or you can delete the error.log file completely as it will be recreated clean when next you try and start Apache.

Now you can try to Start Apache either using the XAMPP Control Panel and when it gives the error message that it can't start, open the error.log file and you will see the error messages often with reason causing the problem, they will all have the current date and time.

Or by running the apache_start.bat file which will also give a reason why it is unable to start Apache.

sorry , more information in log my system

There is the reason for Apache not able to start.
