Apache – XAMPP, Apache – Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly

apachexampp

I've just re-installed XAMPP, and when I try to start my Apache server in the XAMPP Control Panel, I now get the following errors:

16:50:25  [Apache]     Status change detected: running
16:50:26  [Apache]     Status change detected: stopped
16:50:26  [Apache]     Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
16:50:26  [Apache]     This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
16:50:26  [Apache]     improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
16:50:26  [Apache]     Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
16:50:26  [Apache]     the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
16:50:26  [Apache]     If you need more help, copy and post this
16:50:26  [Apache]     entire log window on the forums

How do I solve this?

As I am working in a corporate environment where developers faces firewall issues, none of the other answers resolved my issue.

As the port is not used by Skype, but by some other internal applications, I followed the below steps to resolve the issue:

Step 1 - From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button, and select the Apache (httpd.conf).

Inside the httpd.conf file, somehow I found a line that says:

Listen 80

And change the 80 into any number / port you want. In my scenario I’m using port 8080.

Listen 8080

Still from the httpd.conf file, I found another line that says:

ServerName localhost:80

Change 80 to 8080.

ServerName localhost:8080

Step 2 - From the XAMPP Control Panel, under Apache, click the Config button again, but this time select the Apache (httpd-ssl.conf). Inside the httpd-ssl.conf file, find line that says

Listen 443

And change the 443 into any number / port you want. I’ll using 4433 as the new port number.

Listen 4433

Still from the httpd-ssl.conf file, find another line that says

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

ServerName localhost:443

And change 443 to 4433.

<VirtualHost _default_:4433>

ServerName localhost:4433

Remember to save the httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf files after performing some changes. Then restart the Apache service.

Mysql – XAMPP – MySQL shutdown unexpectedly

STOP! Please do NOT delete ibdata1 file!

Deleting this file is like playing a Russian roulette with your databases, it could work and restablish everything, but also, probably could leave unusable every database you have.

Instead, first try using the MySQL backup folder which is included with XAMPP. So do the next:

Rename the folder mysql/data to mysql/data_old (you can use any name)
Create a new folder mysql/data
Copy the content that resides in mysql/backup to the new mysql/data folder
Copy all your database folders that are in mysql/data_old to mysql/data (skipping the mysql, performance_schema, and phpmyadmin folders from data_old)
Finally copy the ibdata1 file from mysql/data_old and replace it inside mysql/data folder
Start MySQL from XAMPP control panel

And, voilà!

Javascript – string concatenation inside jquery selectors

When you try to use server tags in the aspx page like that, you are telling ASP .NET to process the page during rendering and replace all those tags with their corresponding values or evaluations. Since you're trying to build the string inside the server tags dynamically using JavaScript, ASP .NET isn't going to process that string and you'll end up with code like this:

$("#<%=id1.ClientID %>")

ASP .NET only processes this type of tag when it renders the page (which is already finished), and this is running on the client-side only, so this isn't going to work.

You should be able to just do this:

for (var j = 0; j < myMsgs.length; j++) {
  findDiv = $('#' + myMsgs[j].id_chat_message);
}
