I have on my laptop installed XAMPP. It was running for years… (v3.1.x, not the latest version) No problem at all. Suddenly saterday evening I try to start the appache server by xampp control panel and I get the next error:
19:33:25 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
19:33:25 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
19:33:25 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method
19:33:25 [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
19:33:25 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
19:33:25 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this

I have been googling and searching.
- I have Skype already disabled port 80/443 at the time I have
installed Skype- I have changed httpd.conf; Listen 8080 in stead of 80; Listen 4433 in stead of 443
- I have also been searching who is using port 80 by Netstat xampp panel. I do not see any PID process with porth 80
- I have activate “show debub information”, but I don’t see information of an error.
- There is nothing written in the error.log. When it happen it was 5-12-2015 and I the last lines in the error logs are from 3-12-2015.
- I have downloaded the latest XAMPP version (zip), unzipped first put it in a different directory. Same error
- I have tried to look in the windows event viewer but I couldn't find anything or I'm not looking in the good log item in windows
- I have done all these command with the cmd:
net stop http netstat –abno netstat -abno | find ":80" netstat -abno | find ":443" netstat -a –b netstat –ano
Not a result that port 80 is used. So it seems to me that it is NOT a port issue.
It is on window 7 system, bitdefender total security 2015, wich is already installed in july of this year. I download always the XAMPP zip version and start xampp always by the control panel not as a service.
Has anybody an idea what has happen or what could be happen?
