XAMPP is not working in window
apache, xampp
Solution
Actually Skype is causing this issue so there are two ways to resolve this issue.
Quit the Skype so it'll release port 80 and 433.
Go to Skype Tools-> options -> Advanced -> Connection and unchecked port 80 after this you need to restart your Skype and try to run the XAMPP now it'll not throw any issue as port 80 and 443 is free to use
In Some cases IIS Server is using port 80 or 443. which cause XAMPP to stop running. To stop IIS Server you can follow this step.
- Go to start Menu type Internet Information Services select this and stop it's service which will release port 80 and 443.
Problem
Trying to install XAMPP v3.2.1 on windows8 and it gives me the following error: ``` 23:30:36 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. 23:30:36 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 23:30:36 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method. 23:30:36 [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check 23:30:36 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues 23:30:36 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this 23:30:36 [Apache] entire log window on the forums ``` I actually tried so many things but I don't know what to do now. Any suggestions?
