apache does not start

Postby grdbum » 23. December 2018 01:45

I just installed XAMPP v3.2.2 on my HP Windows 7 laptop.

I am trying to get it so that Apache and MySQL start automatically.

This came up when I try to get it working. I am not a coder so this is all new to me. Please help me to get Apache and MySQL running.

Here are the messages I am getting.

As you see it looks like that port 80 is blocked. Check your Firewall and read teh first post in this forum in which you will find procedures to diagnose issue.
