Hello and thanks for reading.

Downloaded XAMPP today wanted to learn PHP...

However I got this error when trying to run APACHE on the control panel

1:40:38 AM [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...
1:40:39 AM [Apache] Status change detected: running
1:40:39 AM [Apache] Status change detected: stopped
1:40:39 AM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
1:40:39 AM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
1:40:39 AM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
1:40:39 AM [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
1:40:39 AM [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
1:40:39 AM [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
1:40:39 AM [Apache] entire log window on the forums

How do I fix this? I tried changing ports and it didn't help.
Thanks
Have a good day!

Never mind I figured it out, needed to run as administrator.

If admins can lock this that would be fine.
