xampp apache will not start

Postby golddragon007 » 24. January 2013 20:53

Hi,

I have this problem too, I installed the 3.1.0 XAMPP now, and when I start the apache, it won't want to work, automatically stop running. I get this message in the control panel:
20:43:40 [Apache] Status change detected: stopped
20:43:40 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
20:43:40 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
20:43:40 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
20:43:40 [Apache] Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file
20:43:40 [Apache] and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
But the error.log is empty.... I tried changeing the ports, but still doesn't work... Any other idea?

Hi golddragon007,

i have separated your post from the original one (one new topic per issue and user rule).

Back to topic:
Please try to start Apache with the \xampp\apache_start.bat script and tell us, what messages the command line are printing.

best wishes,
Altrea

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 70 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_authn_default.so into server: The specified path wasn't found.
I watched the apache/modules/mod_authn_default.so and there's exist that file.

That line is not present in my XAMPP 1.8.1 testinstallation. So how does it come into yours?
Maybe this is one of the many "installing over an previous XAMPP version" issues!?
