httpd.exe error report [Solved]

[AnneMarie]

Somehow my system seems to have lost the httpd.exe file after uninstalling the XAMPP the first time.
How can I restore this?
After re-installing XAMPP doesn't let me log into MySql anymore.

I am an absolute beginner, so please try and give me a very simple answer if possible.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi JonB,

The last thing I found out is this:
Error 404
"Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 "

I got another message when trying the localhost!!!!!
Another message told me the local host could only be reached (or something like that) through httpd-xammp.conf
which says:

AnneMarie -

What was the exact URL you used in your browser to get the '404' error?

What happens when you go to 'http://localhost'?

Good Luck

Hi Jon,
I used the URL "http://127.0.0.1"
"http://localhost" gives me "https://127.0.0.1/xampp/" and the Welcome screen
I gave allowance to the firewall on my computer but still no luck.

When I try to activate the Xampp control panell I get the little screen again saying
"check failure [3]
Run this programm only from your XAMPP root directory."
I don't know where to look....

[JonB]

"http://localhost" gives me "https://127.0.0.1/xampp/" and the Welcome screen

A. - If you are seeing the Welcome Screen - XAMPP is working.

Use the 'Status' option in the left pane to see what it reports.

B. - The XAMPP Control Panel has to be in the root of your \xampp folder, where is XAMPP installed on your machine???

Good Luck

[AnneMarie]

Running!
All happy again!

Nothing wrong with Xampp but something wrong in my own firewall......pffffff.......
Thanks a lot for your time!

[JonB]

Great!

I'm glad it's working for you.

Good Luck and have fun with your project.
