Here's what you do;

1. Go to your Apache folder in your xampp folder. Mine is located at C:\Program Files\xampp\apache.

2. Once inside your apache folder, open the file named "apache_uninstallservice.bat".
This file will uninstall apache service.

3. Then in the same apache folder, open the file named "apache_installservice.bat".
This file will restart your apache.


If that dosen't work try this:

Start the xampp control panel...
Go to Settings --> SCM
In Services (Local) right-click Apache2 --> Properties
Change Startup Type to "Manual"

now it write that its started but its not becoming green there that its works.

Run xampp-portcheck.exe to see if port 80 is used by something else.

its free, but now another problem, its running and all, but still people cannot go in.

 

[ExibeR]

Close the control panel for Apache.

Go into:
/xampp/ and run Xampp Stop.
That will shut down any running services.
Then you run the other file called Xampp Start.

That solved my problem, when I had it.
