This is just a small blog post for trouble shooting the issues in installing the XAMPP server in Windows 8.1. I downloaded the setup from XAMPP site and installed it. When I tried to start the Apache service I got the following error.
8:56:56 PM [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...
8:56:56 PM [Apache] Status change detected: running
8:56:57 PM [Apache] Status change detected: stopped
8:56:57 PM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
8:56:57 PM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
8:56:57 PM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
8:56:57 PM [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
8:56:57 PM [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
8:56:57 PM [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
8:56:57 PM [Apache] entire log window on the forums
One main reason for this issue is that port 80 and 443 are used by other applications. One application is Skype. To solve this, you can go to Skype Options-> Advanced Settings -> Connection -> Uncheck the Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections.
Another application is VMWare. If the issue caused by this, open the task manager, go to services and stop the VMWareHostd service.
Doing one of the above changes will most probably solve your problem.
Hope that helps.
Thank you :-)
