Hi Programmers,
Problem: XAMPP apache is busy every time when press start.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Busy…
Apache started
Busy…
Apache started
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It happens forever the same result.
I had working fine in 2 week ago for 2 days. But when I’m in XAMPP control panel application, presses start button of Apache and it keep saying, “Busy…Apache started.” It had been doing all day yesterday and not sure why is it not working?
I have checked in folder C:\Program Files\xampp, double clicked the file apache_start.bat, its say:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache 2 is starting…
APACHE.EXE: Syntax error on line 42 of C:/Program Files/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.
conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory
Apache could not be started
Press any key to continue…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I opened the file C:/Program Files/xampp/apache/conf/httpd and looking the line 42 for error. The line 42 is ServerRoot "/xampp/apache" and I don’t know what is wrong with this statement?
I have uninstalling and install XAMPP again with same result.
I have checked the file xampp-portcheck.exe:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What can I do to resolve this problem?
