I installed XAMPP and for some reason when I start running Apache, it doesn't run. I'm not using Skype and also changed the port from 80 to 8080,7777. But nothing seems to work.
Also when I try opening the logs, they are empty.
The detailed error which I get is as follows
10:29:55 PM [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...

Please someone help
Well,somehow resinstalling XAMPP worked for me.
Be sure to install (or unzip) the xampp folder to the root directory (C:\). It helped me even when Skype was listening on the same port apache still would boot up.
Than it is good practise to change http port and ssl port to some different number up to 65535. You have to change it in 3 steps:
1) In Config Panel -> Service and Port Settings -> Main Port & SSL Port
2) Apache (httpd.conf)
3) Apache (httpd-ssl.conf)

I use Xampp as my webserver. I by mistake stopped the Apache server from Task Manager in Windows, now when I try to start it, it shows an error saying Apache service cannot be started.

I've tried changing my port from 80 to 82 but it didn't work out. Can anyone suggest a way to tackle this?
PS: I'm afraid the only way I can see is to uninstall and then reinstall.
You need to run it as a privileged user: you're trying to bind a port below 1024.
Alternatively you can change the port Apache listens on, to a port above 1024.
I have even changed the ports Apache httpd conf and httpd-ssl conf but errors are still there. Please let me know if there any services to be stopped. I am using php 7.3 and xampp control panel v3.2.4

Most of the time Skype is the reason for this.
If you have Skype go to Skype then go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection and uncheck the Use port 80 and 443 for incoming connections. After that jsut restart Apache and this should do the trick.
If you don't have Skype installed then make sure to check in what port is your Apache, if it's on 80 change it to 8080
I returned the port to 80 from 8080 and now the apache is not starting. I reverted all of the things that needs to be back like 80 and 443.

And i already disabled iis as well.
Please confirmed that in your machine skype is installed or not.
if it is installed then change port of skype. due to port conflicted apache might not be starting.
i change port in httpd.conf to 8080 and use this url:http://localhost:8080/ and it work correct.
for change port change listen.
-------------------------------------------- httpd.conf --
Listen 8080
The following worked for me
Select "Run as administrator"
Click on the left checkbutton next to Apache
And finally Uninstall Apache
And in my case that worked! And I tried a lot of different options

Please note that Skype is not running, and i even tried changing the port to 81 by editing httpd.conf. Still I have unchecked "use port 80 and 443 or additional incoming connections"
After changing port number to 81 I went to Command prompt and used command
netstat -nab
I did not get any applications using port 81. I'm done restarting XAMPP and my computer.
Have you tried changing the port using the Xampp Control Panel?
Bitnami developer here.
It seems related to a blocked port. Try to change from the XAMPP Control Panel the both http and https ports in all the Apache configuration files.
To do that, press Config on the Apache section, and change the ports in httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf
You need also change the service port: Config (button on the right corner) -> Service and Ports Settings.
Click Netstat button if you want to see the currently used ports.
I hope it helps
