Apache won't start port conflict (Vista) 1.7.7 [SOLVED]
Posted: 23. October 2011 04:20
Hi,
First of all, thanks for creating XAMPP. Especially its ability to run Apache as a service and its seamless integration with my code editor (PHP rendering in the preview pane) makes it a dream to work with.
Unfortunately however, Apache won't always start as a service, for some odd reason. And when it doesn't, there is something peculiar. When I open the XAMPP control panel and click Apache Start, it says after a few seconds that the Apache service started. But still no PHP rendering in my code editor. Which is corroborated by the Windows Services window, that says that Apache is not running -- and cannot be started locally...
Any thoughts? I have v. 1.7.4 on Windows Vista Home, and Windows IIS running. And it is only about one in four bootups that Apache doesn't start as service.
