Apache on XAMPP will not launch, not a Port 80 Issue

[benjisea]

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
XAMPP installation path: E:/xampp

Hey all, so I've been attempting to develop Wordpress themes on XAMPP.
So I opened cmd with administrative privileges using net stop was /y to stop any programs using the port 80. I've used this quite often and this made Apache work. However, out of nowhere, this doesn't seem to solve the problem anymore.

IF it helps, I did tried installing multisites and my computer MAY have installed another version of XAMPP on this computer. Again, I'm not sure how everything works so I'm giving you random misc information. I tried following the posting bugs guidelines, so let me know if you need any other information. I'm so frustrated at debugging instead of plain out coding.

Here are the error logs:

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please describe your specific problem in detail.
Does Apache not start any more?
Can you not request http://localhost ?

best wishes,

Hi Altrea!
Here's what XAMPP is showing:


Yes, it simply does not start anymore. Localhost does not pop up anymore as well. It says on Google Chrome, " This webpage is not available" err_connection_refused, Google Chrome's connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured.

I used to be able to launch Wordpress with this and it seems disabled out of nowhere. Does that help?

Please execute the file apache_start.bat and tell us the response of it

Where will this file be? I'm using Windows Explorer and looking through the XAMPP folders and it does not appear to be found. Sorry I'm be troubling!

directly in your \xampp\ root folder

There's not a folder called apps in the XAMPP folder, I'm not sure if that got deleted or...

Seems to be a relict of a previous installed Bitnami WordPress app.

Simply delete this line in your httpd.conf file

You're a life saver man! I love you. How do you Apache wizards do this.
