Apache Friends Support Forum

I was running Xampp 7.3.6 and then i upgraded to Window 10 Pro 1903 from 1803. Apache in Xampp would not longer start.

This is my solution

In the Apache error.log I had the following which I could not see anything unusual.

Code: Select all

[Sat Aug 24 09:44:44.295165 2019] [ssl:warn] [pid 1540:tid 644] AH01909: www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
[Sat Aug 24 09:44:44.342037 2019] [core:warn] [pid 1540:tid 644] AH00098: pid file D:/websites/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?

In the windows event log I had:

Code: Select all

Faulting application name: httpd.exe, version: 2.4.39.0, time stamp: 0x5cee4f90
Faulting module name: ADVAPI32.dll, version: 10.0.18362.1, time stamp: 0x96f604e5
Exception code: 0xc0000005

After researching I came across this page (https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=38154) where mdeggers was having a similiar issue with apache.

MeSo2 at the end says "I had to reinstall Apache to 2.4.39 and PHP to 7.3.8, and that fixed it."

So i got the latest version of Xampp with Apache 2.4.39 and PHP 7.3.8 and tested that it worked on my PC, which it did. I then proceeded to upgraded my Xampp to this version and now Apache is running correctly.

This looks like it is an inssue with Apache or PHP rather than Xampp.
