Apache Friends Support Forum

hello
I installed "xampp-win32-1.7.3"
on my dedicated win 2008 server
the control panel runs fine
My Sql and fileZill run fine

but when I click to start Apache the program gows unresponsive for about 15 seconds
then says it's started but doesn't go green in the display

I tried installing the newer V first
it would run and shut off all in maybe 3 seconds

Knowing what is is the Apache error log might be useful.

Have the same issue - it will either say "Port 80 in use by "c:\program files (x86)\skype\phone\skype.exe"!" (even if I've set the port to 8020), or simply "Attempting to start Apache app..." and nothing else. I've tried running the CP with admin privileges too, nothing changed.

Windows 8 64bit.

I beleave my problem is that I had already installed iis and it was running apache
couldn't be ran twice

IIS and Apache are two different web servers (like nginx). Most probably your problem was due to port 80 already used.
