apache and Mysql uninstall

[minette31]

I just installed xampp on my computer, but I can not start Apache and MySQL services. I have a message that tells me that these services are not installed. How can I fix it?
Thank you in advance

OS: Windows server 2003; Xampp: 1.7.3

I have a message that tells me that these services are not installed

A message from what???

Did you use the XAMPP Control Panel and check the Svc box for Aapche and MySQL (each separately) when they were stopped?

Are you logged on as an Administrator, or a User with adequate privileges???

Good Luck

My manager gave me a profile with administrator rights so I should not have to worry on that side. But on xampp I can not do 'start' for apache and mysql

1. I would try to get them to work without being installed as services first (remove check boxes beside them on the control panel)
2. Do you have an existing standalone servers that might conflict with these installed?
3. Have you verified that the required ports are free (80, 443, and 3306)?
4. Are there errors in the respective error logs (/xampp/apache/logs/error.log and /xampp/mysql/data/mysql_error.log)?

This morning I installed the latest version: 1.7.7

[hackattack142]

With the latest version, is there any difference (the updated control panel is xampp-control-3-beta.exe)?

[minette31]

With the latest version no change.
I then installed XAMPP on Windows XP.
After installation it works, but when I turned off the pc, Apache will not start ....

Uninstall XAMPP by following these instructions then download and extract the zip version of XAMPP again by following the instructions in this link:

[minette31]

I uninstalled everything correctly, and install 7-zip file.
But the problem persists ...
Everything works after installation but when I restart the PC, Apache does not want to start.
Before restarting the computer, I installed OCS and GLPI.

[minette31]

To look down from where I made the following operations:
1. Uninstalling Glpi, Ocs and Xampp.
2. Installing Xampp
3. Restarting the computer
(Everything works)
4. Installation of OCS
5 Restart the computer
(Apache does not work!)

So I guess he must see there is a conflict between OCS and Xampp.
But why? OCS since Windows needs to function.

Apache does not work really tells us nothing that we can troubleshoot for you.

You need to give details about Apache not working.

Do you mean that Apache can't start?

If so, then you could try by reading the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file for any clues.

How are you trying to start Apache?

Which control panel are you using and are you right clicking on the control panel to run it as an administrator even though you may be logged on as an administrator - right clicking and selecting to run as admin gives you more privileges.

When you install OCS does it listen on a port that Apache uses - port 80 and port 443 are both required for Apache to start - see if OCS is using port 443 for https.
If so then try and change OCS configuration but if you can't change OCS let me know back and we may be able to help configuring Apache to use another port.
