I have a functional XAMPP setup with Apache 2.4.46 and PHP 7.4.1
I downloaded the latest with PHP 8.0.1, hoping to
* have two PHP directories, /xampp/php (with 7.4) and /xampp/php8 (with 8.0)
* be able to switch between these two (rename php to php7, rename php8 to php, restart Apache).
The two php.ini are identical.
From the CLI, it works fine and I can run either 7.4 or 8.0
But from XAMPP Control,
* Works fine with PHP 7.4.1
* When I try with PHP 8.0.1, all I get is the usual and not helping :
12:08:36 [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...
12:08:36 [Apache] Status change detected: running
12:08:36 [Apache] Status change detected: stopped
12:08:36 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
12:08:36 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
12:08:36 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
12:08:36 [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
12:08:36 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
12:08:36 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this

So, I guess it's not just the php.ini and the php.exe but something tied to the Apache config itself.
Any clue on what I should check for ?
