Hello.
I’ve been trying to install WordPress on an external drive on my local computer so I can build and test a website locally.
But I continue to have issues with Apache, which I’m trying to use via the XAMPP Control Panel.
It was advised that I restart XAMPP with the boxes under Service left unchecked for both Apache and MySQL, which I did.
MySQL has started successfully. But Apache still will not start. In the log, the error reads...
6:09:53 PM [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
6:09:53 PM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
6:09:53 PM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
6:09:53 PM [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
6:09:53 PM [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
6:09:53 PM [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
6:09:53 PM [Apache] entire log window on the forums
I thought I changed the port already. So, I guess something else is causing Apache to crash. But, what, exactly? I'm not really sure which log to check.
Help, please.
