melting_dog Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi all, I am having troulbe with an XAMPP install (on a Windows 7 machine). The install went fine but Apache simply wont start. I get the error: ERROR: Apache service not started [-1] I have changed the port to a free one but the same issue occurs. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

I have had issues in the past where skype holds the port and stops apache starting Yeah I've had that too on other machines - Ive made sure Skype is off on this one. There is a WinNT program using port 80 but as I have changed Apaches port it should be fine, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
