Hello Everyone,
I still cant make my apache run. This is the error i get...
I actually miss xampp 1.7.7!!! 1.8.1 is more advanced which means more complicated...

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

I tried executing apache_start.bat.... and it says.....
Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden
Bitte erst bei einem gewollten Shutdown schliessen
Please close this command only for Shutdown
Apache 2 is starting ...

did you had a look what is reported in log? "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log"

Comment line in httpd.conf if you don't use ssl or change ssl port

#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

open the xampp control panel and on the "config button" and click on the apache (httpd.conf) when it open "Press Control F and type 80"where u see (listen 80) change the 80 to 1337.

then click on the "config button" and click on the apache (httpd-ssl.conf) when it open "Press Control F and type 433 "where u see (listen 433) change the 433 to 7331.

Thanks.

most problems with xampp 1.8.1 and 1.7.1 is the issue of port so follow the instruction below.

open the xampp control panel and on the "config button" and click on the apache (httpd.conf) when it open "Press Control F and type 80"where u see (listen 80) change the 80 to 1337.

then click on the "config button" and click on the apache (httpd-ssl.conf) when it open "Press Control F and type 433 "where u see (listen 433) change the 433 to 7331.

Thanks.
