Today I upgraded my XAMPP from version 1.7.0 to 1.7.1. The installation finished flawlessly, but since then i cannot start apache anymore.
I've tried:
- Starting from control panel - It goes green then immediately shuts down
The log says:
- Code: Select all
Busy...
Apache started [ port 80 ]
and nothing then...
- Starting from apache_start.bat file - Says:
- Code: Select all
Apache 2 is starting...
then shuts down
- Starting/installing as a service - Windows gives a service error
The log from Event Monitor (translated more less accurately):
- Code: Select all
The Apache 2.2 service has stopped; there has been a specific error: 1 (0x1)
As you can see, this is NOT a PORT problem:
- Portcheck reports all ports used by apache as free,
- I had a Skype conflict few weeks ago, but it has been solved since then.
I am using additional software from Zend:
- Zend Platform
- Zend Core
- Zend Optimizer (which is boundled with one of the apps mentioned above)
I suspect that installing Zend Optimizer messed up something in the httpd.conf file (which i did right after upgrading xampp since an error popped up on the Zend Platform screen, it reported Zend Optimizer as not installed despite running well for the past month or so...)
My configuration:
- Windows XP SP3
- XAMPP 1.7.1
Additional notes:
- MySQL is working ok,
- Im an not using/never had any other webserver
I hope that someone has a solution to this problem. I can only tell that my friend has a similar problem since upgrading to the newest xammp, despite running no additional/interfering software. Tell me if you need more info (logs etc) i will supply them.
