Php – Installed Apache on Windows for homework, won’t start: “The requested operation has failed!”

apache-2.2PHPwindows 7

So I just set up Apache to do some web homework. When I go to http://localhost it says "It works!" but when I got to http://localhost/index.html (location of that page) I get "Unable to connect" error (Firefox). Same when I go to http://localhost/test.php

When I open Apache Monitor I click start and after clicking yes for UAC it says "The requested operation has failed!"

Here's the error log:

Best Answer

Run the Apache as Administrator or Disable the UAC. the Apache`s thread is being restricted by the OS.
