I have been using xampp for Windows 8 for some time now and it has been working fine until I try to restart apache today. After a restart, this message appeared:
17:54:35 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
17:54:35 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
17:54:35 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
17:54:35 [Apache] Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file
17:54:35 [Apache] and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
I have already disabled services using port 80, a long time ago, and no software uses it. I checked with the netstat command. I tried changing the port to 8080, and the problem remained the same. Therefore, I do not think this is a port problem.
I have no error message in my apache error.log and in windows event viewer.
Some things that I have already tried and this do not work:
- run the xampp control panel with administrator privileges,
- install apache as a service,
- restart your computer
- httpd.conf:
LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so httpd-ssl.conf: SSLSessionCache "shmcb:logs/ssl.scache(512000)"
