Normally when you run xampp-start.bat it would give you any errors it found when trying to start, like this:
- Code: Select all
Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden
Bitte erst bei einem gewollten Shutdown schliessen
Please close this command only for Shutdown
Apache 2 is starting ...
apache.exe: Syntax error on line 501 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 63 of C:/xampp/apache/conf
/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf: Expected </Directory"> but saw </Directory>
Apache konnte nicht gestartet werden
Apache could not be started
Press any key to continue . . .
I purposely added a " to the <Directory> directive to simulate an error message for you.
Another method to check your
xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf configuration is correct is to issue the
apache -S command at a dos console in
xampp\apache\bin and to check the
xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf has correct syntax issue the command
apache -t in the same way.
The returned messages might give some clues for you.
If you are not sure what they mean you are most welcome to paste them here so they can be analysed.
