Peace,
I have installed bitnami-wamp then uninstalled it and installed xampp (default path) instead. Upon starting xampp it doesn't want to start giving the following error message:
1:18:49 PM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
1:18:49 PM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
1:18:49 PM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
1:18:49 PM [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
1:18:49 PM [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
1:18:49 PM [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
1:18:49 PM [Apache] entire log window on the forums
I have used more than an http port with no luck.
Upon checking the error logs, I found error files don't exist.
This happened on both my laptop and desktop (both are Windows 10 with latest updates).
I'm not the "Administrator" but a user with administrative privileges.
I've googled a lot seeking a solution with no luck. A couple of days ago, I have posted a ticket and had been redirected to another thread where I couldn't find a solution to my problem!
Your support is highly appreciated.
UPDATE:
Trying to resolve the problem, I've run the management console as Administrator and ticked the red (X) service icon and it has turned to green (Correct) icon, after that the error message (shown in the screenshot above) didn't appear, but the console hanged on the message "Attempting to start Apache service..." as shown in the screenshot below, but never starts!
