Xampp control panel

Postby jrws » 23. September 2008 08:51

Hey guys,
This is the problem, I can no longer for some reason use the Xampp control panel. It gives the error message:
ERROR: Apache service not started[-1]

And the same for mysql. And sometimes when I start it manually it doesn't work... So uh yeah, ports are clear, SP2 WinXP... Thats all the info you need I guess if not just ask, and I will try to provide.

ERROR: Apache service not started[-1]

Look into the Windows event log (System/Applications) for a detailed error message.

I have and I cannot really find any good details all it says is the IIS sever didn't start, what does that mean? Isn't that a Microsoft product?

When trying to start xmapp without the control panel with the start button heres the error message:
Could not open required defaults file: msql\bin\my.cnf
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program Aborted

Could not open required defaults file: msql\bin\my.cnf

Really "msql" or "mysql"?

(Does this file exists?)

Apart from the spelling error, yes the mysql file exists.

Which start button do you mean ("mysql_start.bat")?

Thank you but my particular problem was that the service Apache2.2 was set with a wrong path to apache.exe from a previous "Lite" installation. I got the tip here: http://www.astahost.com/apache-server-xampp-t16833.html

I ran: services.msc
Double-clicked on Apache2.2
The wrog path was there, just laughing at me :-)

To edit the Apache2.2 service:
http://www.ehow.com/how_2142503_edit-wi ... vices.html

To delete Apache2.2 service (in order to uninstall XAMPP and reinstall it):
Run: sc delete Apache2.2
Or follow the steps at: http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/windows/howto_nt_das.htm

That's what worked for me.
Over?

Same problem here

- Xampp control returns: Apache service not started [-1]
- Nothing in windows event log
- 80 port free
- Service can be run using windows serices -> start
- Service can be run using apache_start.bat
- Xampp directory and control are in same place

See screenshot Image
What this xampp control is actually doing behind pressing the button?

Thanks in advance

You said IIS?

You're right, Internet Information Services or IIS is a Microsoft product and it's completely incompatible with Xampp.

Look in your Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and click the Windows Components button on the left. Find IIS and destroy.

Good luck.
