Apache Friends Support Forum

I have a similar issue, page renders blank. file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/hello.php will not render and so I changed the Apache ports back to 80 from 8080 which is the only way i could get it to work before. Now I get this when I try to connect to the Apache server.

1:51:15 PM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
1:51:15 PM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
1:51:15 PM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
1:51:15 PM [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
1:51:15 PM [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
1:51:15 PM [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
1:51:15 PM [Apache] entire log window on the forums

Could the page not appearing be something to do with the ports used?

Thanks so much for the information. It was very helpful and am grateful for your response. I finally got Apache to connect on port 80 by disabling the World Wide Web service in Windows 10. Looks as if it's enabled and runs by default in Windows 10 and that fixed me right up.

Again, thank you for taking the time to assist me and point me in the right direction.....Most helpful...
