Apache can't start after XAMPP installation

Postby sbacho » 23. February 2016 16:06

I have downloaded XAMPP latest version and installed it successfully but cannot use it.
Because Apache refuses to start.

I see the following messages in the control panel.

16:48:25 [main] Initializing Control Panel
16:48:25 [main] Windows Version: Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
16:48:25 [main] XAMPP Version: 5.6.15

16:48:28 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
16:48:28 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
16:48:28 [Apache] entire log window on the forums

I run XAMPP under administrator rights.
Also i have tried to change the Main and SSSL ports for Apache but it do lead to success.
Also I tried to find some information in log files about this issue but without success:
- Apache access and error logs seems do not exist at all
- and I cannot find any records for this issue in Windows logs.

Please, help to solve the problem.

Thank You for the answer.

I have already saw this post (=> viewtopic.php?f=16&t=72518#p247610).

As I understood from this post it's necessary to switch for more detailed logging to see what can be the problem and such to solve this issue? It is true?

But I did not understand how I can switch more detailed logging.
I understood that it is necessary to change somehow apache_start.bat? But how?
What changes it is necessary to make in this file to switch on a more detailed logging?

You don't need to change apache_start.bat, you need to execute it by double click and tell us what it responses.

Also I have restarted the XAMPP control panel.
I receive the following message in control pane:
"
