Hey
I installed XAMPP for Windows and it seems I can get MySql to start but I cant get Apache to start.
In the control center, I simply click start and it never says Running. In case there was a port issue, I went into the configuration file, httpd.conf, and I changed (from what I read on other forums) the 2 lines required so it can listen in on a different port yet it still tries to listen on port 80 and fails.
Another person with the same thing PC I as do (they are clone images) installed XAMPP without any problems yet he can get Apache to start.
Ive tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Same thing. I tried to copy HIS xampp folder and just overwrite mine. Same thing.
This is on Windows XP SP3. I believe there is no firewall issue (can't check it out now as this is at work) as I looked around and dont see anything blocking it.
I also believe there is no firewall issue as I installed Apache by itself ( http://www.apache.org/ ) and this worked: It showed "Running" when I started up Apache from the Apache control panel (it showed "Running" as well on the XAMPP control panel). I cant access things like phpmyadmin and such so it gives me problems in certain areas. Also I perfer the "all in one" package as this make configuration alot easier for me.
Any tips or suggestions? Thanks
