Hi.
Check in the 'Services' whether the 'Apache2 service' is created. If not, you can create it by:

1. open the command prompt
2. go to the 'bin' directory of Apache . Somewhere like ' Z:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\bin'
3. type the following code:

Try to start your apache server

Hi rag84dec,

It appears that people are able to find this thread and are managing to help you some.

However, this is more specifically an Apache issue, not a perl one, so I'm moving this thread to the Apache forum.

re: Apache2 starting problem

If you are just looking to install Apache, this is a good one to go with. I would suggest uninstalling Apache and reinstalling in, making sure to install it as a service (not sure what the option's wording will be on this, sorry).

re: Apache2 starting problem

Hi! I seem to have encountered the same error.

Installed using XAMPP and on it's control panel, I get the message:

Error - Apache service not started [-1]

I've installed it as a service (during installation) and whenever i try to manually start Apache, it works. Only in the control panel it fails.

Any insights? Thanks a lot in advance :)

re: Apache2 starting problem

You get a message like this, I would suggest you take a look at the apache error logs.

re: Apache2 starting problem

Just change this line

Listen 80
to
Listen 3128

in httpd.conf file

The problem will be solved ;-)

Little bit of a tip for you all. BEFORE you install Apache try typing the url: http://localhost/ into a webbrowser. See if it brings up anything.

I got this problem because some crappy television program guide that came with my tv tuner card installed itself as a webservice, and was already binding itself to port 80. Seeing as how I never used it, uninstalling it fixed the problem.

Hope this helps someone.

[WINDOWS]
-Go to start then run, type services.msc.
-Find apache service on the right pane "apache2.2" or something close to that.
-Right click and go to properties.
- Go to general tab.
- Look at " Path to executable:"
- Move your apache folder (in xampp folder or something like that) to where the above path direct it to. Create folders if you have to. Mine i had to create "apachefriends" and "xampp" folders at "c:\apachefriends\xampp\" and then paste Mysql and Apache folders in it . If your mysql starts properly , then there is no need to move the folder mysql from your xampp installation folder.

NB:
This is a rather quick and mixing up your system solution BUT its because xampp was installed after WAMP was installed and then WAMP uninstalled when xampp wa already installed. hope you get the idea.

Good luck:
