Apache Won't Run

Hi there.

Everytime I try to run Apache I am getting

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
9:21:51 PM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
9:21:51 PM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
9:21:51 PM [Apache] Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file
9:21:51 PM [Apache] and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues


I try checking the error.log file however it doesn't seem to exist infact there are no files in /apache/logs/

In the event viewer I get no information about Xampp at all.


Version: 1.8.2
OS: Windows 8 32Bit

Uninstalling and Re-Installing Xampp doesn't resolve the issue either

When uninstalling, are you deleting the old xampp directory? Are you on Win7? Try running installer as admin?
