Last modified: 2023-01-04 11:21:31 UTC
How to Solve Below issue I have just completing the reinstallation of the XAMPP, and when I try to start my Apache server in the XAMPP Control Panel, I now get the following errors: 16:50:25 [Apache] Status change detected: running 16:50:26 [Apache] Status change detected: stopped 16:50:26 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. 16:50:26 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 16:50:26 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method. 16:50:26 [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check 16:50:26 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues 16:50:26 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this 16:50:26 [Apache] entire log window on the forums Solution Step 1 - From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button, and select the Apache (httpd.conf). Inside the httpd.conf file, somehow I found a line that says: Listen 80 Following which, I changed the 80 into any number / port you want. In my scenario I’m using port 8080. Listen 8080 Still from the httpd.conf file, I found another line that says: ServerName localhost:80 Change 80 to 8080. ServerName localhost:8080 Step 2 - From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button again, but this time select the Apache (httpd-ssl.conf). Inside the httpd-ssl.conf file, find line that says Listen 443 And change the 443 into any number / port you want. I’ll use 4433 as the new port number. Listen 4433 Still from the httpd-ssl.conf file, find another line that says <VirtualHost _default_:443> ServerName localhost:443 And change 443 to 4433. <VirtualHost _default_:4433> ServerName localhost:4433 Always never foresee, saving the httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf files after performing some changes. Then restart the Apache service. Let me know your thoughts in comments.
