- Renamed the old (working) XAMPP 1.7.7 directory from C:/XAMPP to C:/XAMPP_1_7_7 to preserve it as a backup.
Installed the XAMPP 1.8.0 to C:/XAMPP using the xampp-win32-1.8.0-VC9-installer.exe file.
Restarted the computer.
Opened the XAMPP Control Panel v3.0.12.
Clicked the Start button for Apache.
Here's a piece of the error log:
