OK - a few questions/tasks

1st Question - is or was there another Apache installation on this machine?

2. Please use the 'NetStat' button. If a different 'httpd.exe' is running, it may show the path to that executable.

3.. What is in the Apache error log -- \xampp\apache\logs\error.log??


Good Luck

Are you still geeting this message?

[apache] port 443 in use by "httpd.exe"!

If so please do as I suggested in #2
2. Please use the 'NetStat' button. If a different 'httpd.exe' is running, it may show the path to that executable.

Did you un-install the prior installation, and remove APache from services?

good luck

Thank you for your time.
I have Windows 7 Professional
This is the first and only installation of Xampp.
netstat shows 2 httpd.exe running, one on port443 and
one on port 8666 PID for both are 1292.
I changed the Listen from 80 to 8666 per forum suggestion.
XAMPP control panel v3.0.12

error.log for Apache Module upon pressing (Start) just
after booting the computer.

What do I need to change where, and how, to avoid errors.

Secondly, My .html files with PHP in them cannot be found by the
Apache localhost server. http://localhost:8666/formone.html
formone.html is in the htdocs folder.
I get the username password box, fill it in and then the page displays:
"Object not found" error 404

Ok - I suspect it is as I thought.

Although you 'think you un-installed' the previous products, you did not remove them as service first, and they may be still installed.

[apache] port 443 in use by "httpd.exe"!
[mysql]mysql service detected with wrong path
[mysql]uninstall service manually first
[mysql] possible problem detected!
[mysql]port 3306 in use by"mysqld.exe"!


What was installed previously?

How to. Un-install Services
If you made Apache, MySQL, FileZilla, Mercury or Tomcat into services, un-install/remove them from the Windows service manager via the Control Panel Win-Services, or by way of the Command Window using the Windows 'sc delete' command. You can use the Propereties tool in Service Manager to find the path to the installation.

Good Luck
:)

Re: cant run php files

hi its me back again.
i did as you suggested
removed apache,mysql and filezilla from services.
when i open xampp control panel all notices are blue and there is an x not a tick in the service box but i still cant open index.php and display "its works!" as i can the index.html .
Is my problem this simple:-
the reason it wasn't working before was that i hadn't reomoved the previous instalation of Apache MySql and filezilla from "services" and this was preventing the new install from working.
now i have removed them freeing up the ports for the new installation.
Is what i need to do now as simple as making the new install a service, change x to a tick for apache and mysql ?
or do i need to do something copletely differant?
Thank you for your patience.

First, see if it will run correctly

Use the Control Panel and click the start buttons for Apache and MySQL (and filezilla if you need it) and see if they will start.
Your firewall may also prompt you to allow the applications to run, OK that choice.

If you get the Green "Running" on both, see if you can open the XAMPP Welcome page (http://localhost).

If that works and you can run some of the samples, stop Apache, MySQL etc in the Control Panel.

Now click on th Service button for each in turn, it will ask you if you want to make them into services. Yes/OK for that -

reboot and see if they start correctly. Note you do not have to make them services, that is strictly to automatically start them when you reboot. You can start them manually with the Control Panel or use its 'Config' to auto-start Apache/MySQL etc, when the Control Panel starts.

Good Luck

Sorry yes there is no green "running" showing but where the previous messages abput problems were it now says apache and mysql running, but still unable to run a .php file.
http://localhost/index.php in my browser i just get welcome to xampp for windows and if i click on index.php in htdocs i get the standard windows message asking for a program to open it in.

should i just completely uninstall and try again ?

So your Control Panel looks 'something' like this now?

Image

1. What happens when you go to http://localhost in your browser?

2. Please give me the exact URL for one of your PHP files that 'downloads' instead of opening.
