Xampp Help

I've been using xampp for a while to play around, but Apache stopped working ever since I tried using it as a service. Can anyone help me? Also, does anyone think that theres a better way of hosting a site on my computer than xampp?

 

I played with many things currently use WAMP but will soon shift to XAMPP
IMO XAMPP is best

I dont know what happened to your apache :? but I believe is XAMPP is far easilier than IIS

 

Install once again and try

 

hey try to run xampp-portcheck.exe

Maybe the port is not free. I experienced this before that skype is using port 80.

 

XAMPP is the best... have been using it for years..

 

Make sure he port is free.

Also, check if the apache isn't being blocked by the firewall.

 

I'm running vista, and when I try running the port check, the program automatically stops working.

I managed to get a screenshot of the cmd prompt before it closed and it said,

C:\Users\Me\Appdata\local\temp\rarsfx2\checkports.vbs(66, 4) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Subscript out of range: '0'

Code (markup):

Edit: I tried running the Apache_start.bat manually and i got this error:

Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden

I have no experience with vista.

I google around and found this: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=26612

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

 

why dont you re install the program and then install it again.

In conclusion, it was your hard disk problem. Glad to see your problem is fixed now.
