skype solved my problem
Apache Server On Xampp
I have Vista x64 and no IIS (as far as I know) ... Turning skype off enabled start of Apache service... Tnx guys !
-reply by klavdij
I downloaded and installed the newest version of xampp. But when i try to start the Apache service it does not get started. The MySql and FileZilla services start without any problem. But the Apache service does not start. It returns with a message saying Apache service not started [-1]. I tried by stopping the windows firewall but didn't have any luck. If there is anyone who can help me out here i would be really great full.
A very likely chance is that you have IIS install, which comes standard for WinXP, and some installation of other software might have enabled it. Try to check under Services and see if IIS is running, it's name is "IIS Admin" and "World Wide Web Publishing". If so, stop the service, now you should be able to start your apache. If you want to run both concurrently, you need to change the port of either the IIS or the Apache
If this doesn't help, or your IIS is not installed, then look under your apache folder, either together with XAMPP, or for my case it's "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2". Under the logs folder you should see and error.log file. Open that with notepad, there should be some message indicating the problem. For the IIS case, it will show you that port 80 is in used. The Error.og file is a file that you might want to look into once in a while to see if any major problem is creeping in.
I use XAMMP also on a daily basis and the only time I have seen any installation problems is when IIS involved, follow the steps above from Lee and you shouls get sorted out. XAMMP is the easiest and best way to simulate the services we offer here on your home pc, a lot of us use it and are experts on it so feel free to tell us how you get on with it
I finally got the apache service running. I checked whether i had IIS installed. But i hadn't got IIS installed. So probably it had to be some other issue. So when i went through my list of services i saw that i had a Apache2.2 service already installed, but when i checked it's path it was not the location that it should have been. It's path was set to another older location where Apcahe service was previously installed. When i try to run the Apache service it goes and looks for the older location. So i deleted the old apache service, uninstalled my current xampp and reinstalled it. Now i've got it up and running.
Also, if someone will be reading this post by searching google or also will be having similar problems, another thing which might be the problem that you have Skype installed, so if you are installing a server such an apache which requires port 80 by default, you should turn Skype off or any other software which might be using the port 80 as alternative or as primary, as I know Skype has a check-box wheaver to use port 80 as alternative or not..
Moreover, it is a good advice to run software, apache in this case through a console/dos/cmd/shell/cli whatever because usually you get the error message if it wasn't successful to start the service.

The alternative for skype to use port 80 is to bypass some system where they block those messaging and voip client. Generally port 80 is left untouch

Thanks in advance. Nuwan.
As mentioned by Quantrux and faulty.lee, the problem is because of having another software bound to port 80. Microsoft IIS is the most common troubler. Others include the lightweight, EasyPHP. You can make IIS and XAMPP Apacher work together. To do this, go to website properties in IIS and change the port number to any free port like 8080.
im having another problem sort of to do with xampp...
root@localhost doesnt have permission to do anything, which is a problem because i cant make databases or do anything with it. it ses to edit config.inc.php but yeah... wot do i edit? cos the host is localhost and the user is root.
help? cos i usually try things on my computer before i upload.
You guys helped me a lot... In figuring out why my apache has not been running... Thank you very much... I should add to these conversations that if the path of the appache is not right in Sevices.Msc... Then go into the Xammp installation folder find Apache folder; in that uninstall Apache as service and reinstall Apache as service... Doing that has fixed my problem rather than uninstalling the Xampp itself...

Hi all This is my first post so I hope I get it right. I am running Vista Business on
32bit platform. Plently of memory and HD space. Fairly secure. Good seci=urity software and constant
updates, regular checks. I was adding a couple of sites to the HOSTS file - which as you know is
not so straightforward in Vista as it was in XP. I had read that it was a good idea to disable the
DNS client when doing this. I did so. Safari immediately stopped working. It wouldf not open any
site; however at the same time I could get Firefox 3 - my regular browser to work with....

it's previous domain. the join was successful but once the computer restarted, we can now no

Has anyone else been having problems with comcast modems as of lately? I've been doing tech
support for roughly two years now, and one of my friends is unable to connect to his wireless d-link
router. I came over and had a look at it, and everything seemed fine for the most part, except the
fact that the connection wasn't working. After about half an hour of trying different methods
of resetting, replugging, ect., i figured the d-link router was bad. So I brought it to my house
and hooked it up with my westell modem, and it worked perfectly fine. Leaving the....
I have now conducted a few tests on my router and am led to believe if you are in an area someone
elses router and dont have permission, you can hack the router, find out all their website history
and view current connections. If you a WEP key installed on your router, this is the problem. Remove
it and use another security method, WEP is hackable and can allow users through quite easily, i
disallowed my laptop from router, then used certain software to generate the WEP, got on then used
Internet Tracking tools. It's so simple, people can Hack your router! use WPA or....

I have a friend who's trying to connect a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop to the internet. We tried
almost everything I can think of including using a wired cable to connect. It won't allow us to
connect to the router no matter what. We already tried using another working router, reparing it
(ipconfig) and even using another wireless card/adapter for it. All fail to connect successfully.

I have an Apache server set up on my computer so that I can test my scripts without uploading them.
The computer connects to the Internet through a wireless router. I can access my server fine by
going to "localhost" (of course), but when I try to access it on any computer in the network by
going to my modem's IP, my router's setup page shows up. However, this problem does not
exist when I do it from a computer outside the network. I have tried forwarding Inbound port 80 to
this computer, but it still doesn't work. I want to see the server's page using ot....
I recently bough a new wireless router to connect my laptop to the internet. Before this I already
had two computers, one in the study and one in my bedroom. The study and bedroom computers were
connected to a Broadband Router (Alcatel SpeedTouch 530), one via usb and the other Ethernet. They
were perfectly fine, they could connect, share files and print on shared printers. Till i bought the
Wireless Router!! To achieve the best reception for Wireless I had to place the Wireless Router in
my bedroom. By the way the Wireless Router is a D-Link DI-524. The D Link was conn....

Ok, for testing my knowledge, I got a free domain "floppydrives.cjb.net" and free DNS service at

more of a web issue/server issue, so I apologize if you feel that this is in the wrong forum. If it

Hey, Here's a weird problem I've encountered. On my test server running CentOS and Apache2
w/ the Apache2 Manual installed and accessible from the web, everything seems fine. So I access it
via my home network on which the server is located and the manual loads like I'm on a 56K
connection. To give you an idea of the speed, it's just a tweak faster than using MySpace during
peak hours. MySpace is still slower than my server though. But today at school, I try it and the
thing loads like it was on an OC-93 fiber line at a data center! AND- if I try to FTP....

Most Home internet users have dynamic IP address' Meaning they may change every time you reboot

to play againsed your friends... then you probably know how annoying dynamic IP's really are.
