I am sure this is not a replication issue. I already red about : Apache not starting on windows 7 and XAMPP on Windows - Apache not starting.

But still I haven't found a solution to my concern which seem to be particular.

I am on Windows 7 64bits. It is a fresh installed OS with all important updates made.

I did install xampp 7.x to work on Drupal 7. But apache error "0xc000007b".

After a lot of research I found out that new versions of Apache have a lot of difficulties working on Windows 7.

So I found "XAMPP 1.8.2" (a very old version), binary files that I just donwloaded, uncompressed and place on root drive "c:\". I lauched "XAMPP Control Panel", "Apache" and "MySQL". It worked fine. I could work on Drupal 7.

But now I need to work on Drupal 8 which requires PHP 5.5.9. And PHP 5.5.9 requires APACHE 2.4.

Attempt 1 : New binary files for "apache" and "php"

I upgraded PHP and APACHE (downloading binary PHP and APACHE and replacing folder "php" and overidding folder "apache" on my XAMPP folder). When I launch XAMPP Control Panel, MySQL still works but Apache show this error :

11:42:18 AM [Apache] Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4!

11:42:18 AM [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!

11:42:18 AM [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application

11:42:18 AM [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

11:42:18 AM [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...

11:42:19 AM [Apache] Status change detected: running

Attempt 2 : Complete new 7.x version install file

When I install a complete new version (with the xampp 7.x install file) such as "7.x", the error message is now : 0c000007b.

How do you think I can solve this issue ?

Thank you a lot.

  • Is there anything written to the error log? – Nico Haase May 18 '18 at 07:34
  • _“And PHP 5.5.9 requires APACHE 2.4”_ - that’s not even true. I think you might be confusing actual technical requirements, which what kind of pre-packaged combinations of PHP and Apache versions are offered on the web …? Btw, with a Drupal 8 I would not go for a 5pointanything PHP version any more - you should really use PHP 7. https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/system-requirements/php-requirements – CBroe May 18 '18 at 07:40
  • Yes. A lot of information. Let me paste it. It is too long. But this is the first line : [Tue May 15 17:23:50.262044 2018] [ssl:warn] [pid 4524:tid 436] AH01909: www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name – Georges Amos May 18 '18 at 07:41
  • CBroe. When upgrading I directly donwloaded PHP 7.2. I just forgot to say it. – Georges Amos May 18 '18 at 07:46
  • But I remember that when I wanted to install Drupal 8 on XAMPP 1.8.2 it asked for PHP 5.5.9 at least. – Georges Amos May 18 '18 at 07:47
  • I am just on Windows 7 trying to figure out how to make apache's newest versions work. And everything works fine except that – Georges Amos May 18 '18 at 07:50
