Apache won't start in wamp server version 2.4.4 - apache

when I run command in cmd C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\httpd
as given solution in a question of stack overflow about Apache is not starting it is given the following error:
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin>httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 539 of C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.4.4/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open config directory C:/wamp/vhosts: The system cannot find the path specified.
But my Apache Service is not starting and I am unable to understand the problem as my Wamp Server is working from last 2 months and suddenly this problem occurs as error log of Apache Service is not showing any error.

Your vhost dir points to C:/wamp/vhosts instead of C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\extra you should be able to chante that in your httpd.conf
Edit this in httpd.conf
Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Then you should also check your vhosts config in httpd-vhosts.conf

Error installing and starting Apache Web Server using Gzip Compression

I tried to install the Apache 2.4 web server on my local machine and I got the error below.
**
Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started.
AH00558: httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using fe80::7908:85c9:d022:6dbc. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message**
I ran the command httpd.exe -k install to install the Apache and httpd.exe -k start to start the server and see if I could bypass error.
You need to set a Server Name in the httpd.conf :
List item C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf or /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf with notepad or any other text editor.
Search for this line in config file #ServerName www.example.com:80
Uncomment this line by removing # from the first of line and edit to ServerName 127.0.0.1
Save the file, exit and try restarting the server
Source : Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name
So, I came across a doc online that fixed the error.
All that was needed to find the line with #ServerName www.example.com:80 in C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf, uncomment it, and maybe replace the URL with 127.0.0.1 or as it suits.

Global ServerName directive returns Syntax Error

I am trying to configure an Apache2 Server, I ran the command to check its status and got the error that my global serverName is not set, so I googled how to do it and it worked fine, I opened the apache2.conf file and put in the server name I got through running this:
hostname and then I put in the server IP, as seen here:
# Global configuration
#
lehner-tse01 132.231.36.101
However when I run apachectl configtest or when I try to restart apache I get this error:
Invalid command 'lehner-tse01', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
I cant rename the server and I didn't find anything googling for the second part of the error message.

Apache httpd is not restarting in centos

I install Zend server CE 5.6. With that Apache is installed automatically. Now I want to restart Apache server then it is showing error
click here for image to see exact error
any help
why i cannot restart apache httpd service.....?
Well you got some syntax error in httpd.conf and zedserver_php.conf.
For libphp5.so, check if the user apache can access to usr/local/zend/lib/apache2/libphp5.so.
First look, I think you have some error in httpd.conf and zedserver_php.conf and that apache can't access to httpd.conf and zedserver_php.conf.

Is it possible to check a .htaccess file using the -t option of the apache2 command?

I've got a .htaccess file that I copied from one Apache HTTPD server and deployed onto another. Unfortunately, I foolishly didn't check the version of the destination server and just put the file in place; the site stopped working because it's Apache 2.4 and the file has 2.2 syntax. So I quickly reverted it to the previous version and hoped that nobody noticed!
Now, of course, I'm paranoid.
I tried copying the broken-on-2.4 version elsewhere and using apache2 -t .htaccess to find out what's wrong, but I get this error:
apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/.htaccess: No such file or directory
If I supply the full path (i.e. apache2 -t /path/to/it/.htaccess) I get:
AH00534: apache2: Configuration error: No MPM loaded.
This error appears to be unrelated but I get the same error message and exit code (1) regardless of whether or not there's an error in the .htaccess file.
So my question is: can I use apache2 -t [...] to test a .htaccess file, and if not, what can I use instead (aside from the manual)? There is this site but it doesn't seem to allow me to say what version of Apache to check against.
I haven't found out how to do what I asked, but I have come up with a workaround.
I created a new directory on the server and put the incompatible .htaccess file in there. I then accessed the directory via my browser whilst tail -fing the error log (/var/log/apache2/error.log) to see what the problem was.

The Requested Operation has failed- Apache error

When I'm trying to start the Apache 2.2 server it is showing the following message: The Requested Operation has failed
In command Prompt it is showing as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\amth>net start apache2.2
The Apache2.2 service is starting.
The Apache2.2 service could not be started.
A service specific error occurred: 1.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.
Open run( win + r ) in windows and then type services.msc. Search for Apache service. Double click on the service and select any startup type other than disabled. This should work like a charm.
Open conf folder then open httpd.conf file in your text editor.
Find this line:
Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
and change it to
Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080
Then hit save
I have wasted a whole day on figuring out why curl_init() threw an undefined-error. Im using Windows, Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.3
After trying to:
Install a fresh version of Curl As described in this post
Enabe Curl in the php.ini file following this description
I still got this error.
The solution was to add the directory of the php e.g c:php/ to the PATH Variable in the Windows environment variables.
->Hit the Windows-Key and S
-> search for "System"
-> go to advanced options(a small window shuld pop up)
-> hit environment variables
-> in the **bottom** box scroll until you find "PATH"
-> select it and hit "edit"
-> enter the php directory and close the window
-> reboot your PC
Hopefully it will work for you too :)
Have you done any changes in httpd.conf file ? i was also facing same problem in my case i have saved httpd.conf file as txt so due to that i was getting error
Was getting this issue when trying to start Apache with mod_jk. As part of loadmodule in http.conf file LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so was added but in Apache2.2\modules folder mod_jk.so file was not available. Added mod_jk.so file to modules folder and apache started without any issues.
Here is what I did - if you uninstall and reinstall apache via command prompt it
httpd -k unistall/httpd -k install
then it displays the errors
in my case the require all was missing 'granted' at the end of to look like 'require all granted'
<Directory />
AllowOverride all
Require all
</Directory>
If your lan ip changed then you would come across this error. In the httpd conf file you to rectify the following:
Listen IP:Port
I ran into the same error message on Windows Server 2008 R2. I was using SSL and realized that my signer certs, configured in ssl.conf, where placed in the wrong folders on the file system. I placed the certs in the correct spot and the service and Apache was working fine afterwards.
I've tried closing World Wide Web services, changing a lot of ports and surfing many forums, and eventually I looked in to Logs=>Apache (error.log) files.
I saw in this error:
PHP Fatal error: Directive 'asp_tags' is no longer available in PHP in Unknown on line 0
Then I opened php.ini files in XAMPP. Find with ctrl+f asp_tags=On line and turn it to Off.
All of it then worked.
In my case Apache 2.4 is worked on Win7Pro 64bit. Last week it worked fine but today I was unable to start it as usually. I tried to check logs for errors but no clue. Then I went to Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Services and found there Apache service was disabled!? Click on property, set Startup type to manual and - voila! It started like charm.
