Apache Not Running - Several things tried [Solved]

Postby Three » 02. July 2012 02:31

After a few hours of trying, with no avail, apache will not start!

Like others, MySQL starts, apache does not.

I have tried changing the Listen port to 30, 8080, 8888 (all ports not used) and nothing.

I have also used netstat to see if port 80 is in use, which it has been by the following;

- Firefox (I have tried to change the port for this too, nothing).
- Unknown (there is no PID)
- Skype (I uninstalled).

Still nothing!
Help would be much appreciated.

Hi Three (there is ALWAYS time for a short salutation, especially if you are asking for help at a community board. It's a matter of politeness),

Please check if you have already installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) Runtime
It's a requirement for the Apache binaries included in the current XAMPP version.

best wishes,
Altrea

Sorry for being unpolite, it was late and I was tired and annoyed.

I hope you can forgive me :)

@Topic;

I will try this now and update with any errors, if any.

Thank you.

Edit:

Seems I already have that program, it gave me the option of repair or uninstall.

Also here is my Control-3-Beta.log file

I have no idea why it isn't saying port 8080, 8888 etc (the ones I've also tried).

Solved.

Port 8888 was blocked by my firewall service (not windows firewall) I uninstalled it and unblocked the port manually on Windows Firewall.


Thanks for the help!
