If I can't find the answer to my issues, I'll look up your suggestions one by
one and study and hopefully find my answer(s). By the way, once I reach Service
Settings, what are the external and internal ports? Needless to say, I'm not
vastly literate in technology. I'm a web designer but haven't branched much
elsewhere throughout my years as a coder. I'm at peace just coding. ;). I did
input ports 80 on both fields, port 443 on both fields, and port 80 and 443 on
each field, then reversed that, and the message was the same: port is already
in use, enter unique port number. Also, if one of the two Apache.exe processes
I see running on my system is http"d", should the "d" be reflected on either of
these? Both just read Apache.exe. I'm trying to distinguish both of these but
can't because they look alike.
Mysqld.exe is running perfectly well, so I'm wondering if I should be seeing
the "d" in either of the Apache.exe processes. Also, I have version 2.2
installed on my system according to Apache Service Manager, but it fails to
start upon starting it manually. Could this be the other Apache.exe process and
should I remove this version, or can I bind this version to port 80 or 443,
which ever I need to code with PHP? Version 1.3.24 has green all over it and is
running, but I can't reflect this in the XAMPP monitor console and according to
them, this means that Apache is not running.
Thank you, all!

With all due respect, but have you looked for any How-To's for your specific OS?
I would also try searching for related concerns, such as 'Starting Apache under
XAMPP' or 'Starting Apache' or 'Configuring Apache'....etc...you get the idea..
Thirdly, there is the Apache website and associated documentation you could
consult.
(I personally go there as a last resort because it often is way too detailed or
the docs are very focused on a particular thing-however, if you find something
you don't understand from the first two searches, the Apache site is great for
explaining the specifics.
Having said all that....I am not very familiar at all with XAMPP. It basically
sits on top of Apache (and other apps) providing a unified interface so to
speak. I'd look specifically at topics about configuring and running Apache.
WRT opening ports in XP, you can try the following:
1. Click on your start button
-> My Network Places. On the left you will see Network Tasks. Click
on View Network Connections.
2 Right click on the Local Area Connection, or right click on 1394 if you use
a wireless connection. Select properties from the drop-down menu. At the top of
the Local Area Connection properties box -> Advanced->
Settings button under Windows Firewall. If your settings button is not
available that means that all the ports on your computer are
automatically opened.
3. After you click the Settings
button under Windows Firewall,
click the Advanced button -> Settings button to the
right of Local Area Connection (or to the right of 1394). Under the
Advanced Settings tab -> Add button at the bottom.
4. This will take you to the
Service Settings box. In the Description box, type a name, any name,
preferably one that coincides with the reason you want to open this
port. For example, PSP Port 1234. In the Name or IP address of the
computer hosting this service on your network box, type 127.0.0.1. In
the External port and Internal port boxes, type the port number. Click either
TCP and then click OK, and you
have now opened the port and are ready to go online. Hope this helps.

Greetings,
First, I apologize in advance to anyone and everyone involved that I will
insult, confuse, agitate, etc, if my email is NOT up to the standards
documented on your site. I've read briefly your guidelines for posting and for
users obtaining information regarding their issues, questions, etc, and quite
frankly, I would pass out trying to find answers and support to my question in
the labyrinth that is your site, before I would actually find my answers. So,
I'm praying this email will get the ball rolling for the support I need.
Second, my issue. As the subject states, I am completely new to your web server
project and recently downloaded your server as part of a software bundle named
'XAMPP'. I have posted my issue on their forums and I understand what I'm
supposed to do, I just cant figure out how to do it on my system.
Apache is NOT running on my system, according to the XAMPP control panel which
would indicate if it was running by displaying the word 'running' with a
green-colored background. MySql server is running perfectly and is displayed as
such as I mentioned above.
I have performed netstat commands on DOS and have located port 80 (I'm told
should be used for Apache), and I've been told port 443 should also be used for
Apache, but I have not been able to find this port on DOS (the closest port
number I always see is 445). Every time I check processes running on my system
on Task Manager, I find TWO Apache.exe processes running, but only ONE is
reflected in netstat's results. I did mention this to XAMPP support and they
told me one is or should be the daemon process. Is there a GUI in Windows for
locating ports and assigning them? I found this running IIS, but disabled IIS
to install XAMPP as my XP Home Edition OS does not include IISS, and I can't to
save my life find a GUI in Windows to assign ports to other processes that may
be blocking the port(s) I need to run Apache.
The original and ONLY error message I'm basing my issue on is a 'The requested
URL /helloWorld.php was not found on this server.' I'm sure many of you are
familiar with the rest of this message which notes version 1.3.24 and port 80
in it.
This is my only use for your server, coding in PHP for web design and web-based
services. My apologies again, if I've now "hurt" anyone with this sentence.
So, finally, my question, how can I get Apache started and keep it running on
my system? As I mentioned in the beginning, I pray I've provided as much
information as possible to be worthy of receiving support for my question/issue.
Best regards.
Thank you and God bless all!
