3raser Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct section. Anyways, I know XAMPP is the biggest tool used for PHP developers and programmers, and I'm giving my first go at it. Everything is installed. But one problem. I have MySQL running, but when I install APACHE by clicking the checkbox, then click 'Start', my Control Panel just freezes and at the bottom it says; Apache service started... Busy... Why does it do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoctor Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 have u checked the http://localhost in your machine.. if it is working then the apache have started in your machine. if not check the error.log in the machine and also make sure that u have no other program using the port 80 on your machine..

3raser Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've tried this: Going into the Xampp/Apache folder and installing it manually with the batch file. I get this: Installing Apache as a service Installing service "apache"... Can't create service "Apache2.2". Service "apache" is not installed. Starting service "apache"... Can't start service "Apache2.2". Service "apache" is not started. Press any key to continue . . . And when I click Start now, it says this: WARNING: terminating worker thread 0 Apache started And when I go to file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/index.php it says this: Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoctor Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 which version of xampp u have installed.. if ur trying with 1.7.2(beta) version.. there is a chance of this happening.. so try downloading the 1.5.5 stable version. this would work on most of the machines..

dgoosens Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 well it does state Service "apache" is not installed. so it is quite logical that everything you try after that goes wrong... you can also try the new EasyPHP, if you are working in Winblows, obviously... http://www.easyphp.org/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
