First off I'm new to the forum so hello!
second I just Installed XAMPP so I could use it to run Wordpress on my own local server.
this is my first time using XAMPP I have tried several things that I found online and none of them work.
So let me get to my problem.
when ever I go to run the XAMPP Control Panel I get this pop up message:
so I simply click the continue button and the Control Panel opens.
However, when I try to start Apache the green "running" indicator pops up
but then disappears right away and I get a busy message(seen in the image bellow)
before and after clicking "start"
I'm running Windows 7
I'm running XAMPP 1.7.4 I used the installer.
I have checked and I'm not running anything on port 80
I have even tried shutting down FireFox and still nothing.
Here is my error Report:
