I've been trying to upgrade to PHP7 on xampp, but when I try to restart Apache, I just get:

0:38:00  [Apache]   Attempting to start Apache app...
0:38:01  [Apache]   Status change detected: running
0:38:01  [Apache]   Status change detected: stopped
0:38:01  [Apache]   Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
0:38:01  [Apache]   This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
0:38:01  [Apache]   improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
0:38:01  [Apache]   Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
0:38:01  [Apache]   the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
0:38:01  [Apache]   If you need more help, copy and post this
0:38:01  [Apache]   entire log window on the forums

I've already updated: httpd-xampp.conf with the correct path and naming. But no luck.

Also tried switching ports, and don't have skype. I don't think it's a port issue since everything's working fine when I use php5. Everything suggested here:

Apache is not running from XAMPP Control Panel ( Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. This may be due to a blocked port)

Apache Logs:

Already tried the solutions mentioned here: error running apache after xampp install

But also no luck.

  • check out the apache logs, after upgrading, are your sure that you have disabled the php5 apache module and enabled php7 apache module ? – hassan Mar 21 '17 at 10:02
  • @hassan Added Apache logs above. Still no luck on finding resolution. – Kakenx Mar 22 '17 at 02:12

I did the xampp php upgrade from 5.4 to 7 according to this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdR8qHXpyHE

After the Apache restart I got the same errors. I edited the httpd-xampp.conf: changed all the php5 stuffs for the php7 relevants. Then I tried to start apache again.

Apache has started. Hope this helps!
