Hey there

MYSQL and FileZilla run just fine but I am having issues getting Apache to run on Xampp.
I changed the ports on both the httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf through the Config button on Xampp and got an error message of Port 80.
I went ahead and also changed the path through the C:\Apache24 folder but to a different port than the one I entered in Xampp and it didn't show me the error message anymore.


I then restarted Xampp and got this message in red
10:50:11 PM [Apache] Apache Service detected with wrong path
10:50:11 PM [Apache] Change XAMPP Apache and Control Panel settings or
10:50:11 PM [Apache] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
10:50:11 PM [Apache] Found Path: "C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
10:50:11 PM [Apache] Expected Path: "c:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice


But then when I click Start it shows me
11:03:08 PM [Apache] Attempting to start Apache service...

and a window opens asking permission with details
Provider: Net Command
Verified Publisher: Microsoft Windows


*I had installed Apache BEFORE I installed Xampp*


Any suggestions?

Uninstall the old service and install a new one.

from a command prompt running as Administrator

cd\xampp\apache\bin
httpd -k stop
httpd -k uninstall
httpd -k install
httpd -k start
