Apache Not Starting

The Apache on my XAMPP installation is not starting even though the Skype is not running. Require to figure out the solution to make the Apache in XAMPP to start and work properly. People aware of how to resolve the problem share some ways to figure out the problem.

 

First step is to right-click on the shortcut item in your start menu or on your desktop if one is there, select the "Compatibility" tab and check "Run this program as an administrator". XAMPP must run with administrator rights. If that fails, report back.

 

Tried just now, Apache still not starting.

 

What message is XAMPP giving? Did you look in the Apache error.log located in the /apache/logs folder under the XAMPP install? Did you install it in your C: drive? In /Program Files?

 

This is the log file above and errors in it. Review it and inform about possible solution to the problem.

 

It doesn't look like you did a default install. XAMPP should have installed in C:/xampp.

 

Did you tried to re-install the XAMP? If not, you may give it a try.

 

Some program was using port 443 as Apache requires, I stopped the program from task manager and after that Apache works fine.
