Apache won't start.Again!

Postby kirwood » 24. May 2013 13:16

Hi,
You will see from an earlier post that I had Apache running.
I then added a new entry to httpd-vhosts and hosts and the Apache server crashed.
Nothing in error log but in Event Viewer it said my version of Notepad and Notepad+++ were not compatible with Win 8 64 bit. I have now installed the latest version, deleted and reloaded both files.
Apache crashed again. This time all the error logs were clear, nothing.
This is what I added to the two files.
127.0.0.1 fhm
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/FullHouseMarketing"
ServerName fhm
<Directory "D:/FullHouseMarketing">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I am reluctant to uninstall Apache and start again because I am not sure how to go about it with a 64 bit windows version. The existing Apache was installed by the people who upgraded the pc to 64 bit.

Help appreciated

You really added ALL LINES to both "hosts" and "httpd-vhosts.conf"?

No.
I added 127.0.0.1 fhm to the hosts file
and
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/FullHouseMarketing"
ServerName fhm
<Directory "D:/FullHouseMarketing">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
to httpd-vhosts.conf file.

Your configuration is working on my W7 Testmachine.
What happens if you execute your \xampp\apache_start.bat file in your Windows command line?

Hi,
From command prompt I worked out there was a port conflict.
It was that pesky Skype again.
Uninstalled Skype and Apache is fine.

Problem is I do use Skype as well.
Tried changing Apache ports from 80 and 443 to 3939 and 444 but Apache would not start.
Any suggestions as to how I can run both? In the Windows 8 version of Skype you cannot change Skype ports.

ps can a file be attached to a post in this forum?

In your Skype configuration there is a checkfield that Skype don't uses port 80 and 443.
