Dear All:

I am a beginner. Trying to setup an Intranet in our company. After installing XAMPP v3.2.4, I started Apache and Tomcat. I am getting the below errors. Would appreciate your help in fixing these errors.

Hi Sam,

Please try to start apache by double clicking the apache_start.bat script and tell us its response.
Did you install the JDK /JRE(Java 8 or higher) for Apache Tomcat?

Do you really need to Start Tomcat, Mercury and FileZilla?

Hi! Altera: Thank you for your response.

The output of double clicking "apache_start.bat" file, I have pasted below:

Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden

Please close this command only for Shutdown

Press any key to continue . . .

I have not installed the JDK/JRE (Java 8 or higher) for Apache Tomcat. I would appreciate you sharing the link to download and install JDK/JRE (Java 8 or higher) for Apache Tomcat.

I am a beginner trying to implement Intranet in our company. I will start only Apache going forward for intranet purposes.

Thanks & Regards,

Sam

You did change the DocumentRoot to a folder doesn't exist. You should undo this change.

There is already something listening on port 80 or a security software is blocking Apache from capturing this port.
The messages in the control panel can give you more information about that, especially if started as administrator.
The other tool listing all occupied ports is Netstat which can be started by clicking a button in the control panel.

You only need Tomcat if you want to do some JSP programming. The official Java runtimes can be found here at the vendors homepage: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologie ... loads.html

Hi! Altera:

Thank you. I will work on your suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,

Sam
