I have XAMPP server installed on Windows 10. I changed ports the first time I used it and it worked fine until a few days ago. Now I get the error:
10:21:59 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
10:21:59 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
10:21:59 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
10:21:59 [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
10:21:59 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
10:21:59 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this

I made sure it is NOT a port problem. I have checked all the ports using netstat -na
and the ones I set in the config files are not being used. I also tried to force starting the service through the service.msc
panel but I get error 1
. I tried to run setup_xampp.bat
and again nothing really happened. I disabled the IIS, and I'm running out of ideas. I also tried to run the control panel as administrator with the service installed, and in this case I get Attempting to start Apache service..
for ever.
Is there a way I can fix this?
