To use an open source software on GitHub it was recommended to use Ampps.
I installed Ampps on Windows 10. Then installed Apache, MySQL, and PHP 7.1.
I can open Ammps and start MySQL but Apache remains stopped.
I tried to run \Ampps\apache\bin\httpd.exe in the command prompt and recieved this error:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 144 of C:/Program Files/Ampps/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file 'C:/Program Files/Ampps/apache/conf/ssl_crt/server.crt' does not exist or is empty
It's right, I can't find any ssl_crt folders in conf, let alone server.crf file.
I'd like to know why this file is missing.
Is there any issues with my installation process?
How can I solve this problem?
Many thanks
After many inspections, I found that the problem was with my laptop lacking IIS URL Rewrite Module2.
I installed IIS URL Rewrite Module2, changed Apache's configuration to listen to port 8080 instead of 80, and everything worked like a charm.
I'm trying to setup PhpStorm to debug correctly within a Vagrant Homestead environment. Xdebug is correctly installed and I'm running PHP 7.1
After setting a breakpoint in my app the script passes through any breakpoints and I get this message:
debug session was finished without being paused
It may be caused by path mappings misconfiguration or not synchronized local and remote projects.
To figure out the problem check path mappings configuration for 'wedleague.loc' server at PHP|Servers or enable Break at first line in PHP scripts option (from Run menu).
I've checked the mappings and have this set up for the root of the project:
local path remote path
file://C:/vagrant/projects/wedleague /home/vagrant/code/wedleague
If I set to debug at first breakpoint I can work through the debug session.
Tried loads of answers here but nothing seems to work.
What can I try to get the debug session to work correctly?
Update:
I've also tried this mapping (as suggested)
file://C:/vagrant/projects/wedleague/public /home/vagrant/code/wedleague/public
Still not working with this configuration either :(
Step 1
Install PHPStorm 2017.X
Install Xdebug helper for chrome
Step 2
Via ssh (choose a tool like putty, WinSCP, MobaXterm etc.)
Install xdebug, in your case laravel gets Ubuntu 16.04 by default with Nginx so we need to follow these instructions
The values I used are
; Enable xdebug extension module
zend_extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_host=10.0.2.2
in /etc/php.d/xdebug.ini
But note that I use my own vagrant installation (homestead is based on Vagrant) with CentOS and apache instead. Restart your virtual machine after config changes.
vagrant / homestead halt
and start again
vagrant / homestead up
Step 3
Config Xdebug helper extension in chrome by right clicking the symbol > options and set your IDE key to PHPStorm in the dropdown menu.
Configure PHPStorm, like a lot
hint: Settings has the shortcut ctrl + alt + s
Check the following settings. Don't forget to add both http and https in the Servers Setting and most important, don't read over the path mappings part.
And last but not least click these buttons, the first button with the phone horn actually has reversed icons in my opinion: when debugging it should have the little green part, altough logically red would mean stop, now it means start.
button 2 starts your url with a session var in the query string!
P.s. from your question: I think you need to go 1 level up root of laravel instead of public folders
edit: I just installed homestead at home and it comes with xdebug installed:
While trying to start Apache using XAMPP, I was receiving - "Attempting to start Apache service..." message in XAMPP UI. No further details were available.
Where can I see the logs (I was running XAMPP as Admin) ?
IF PORT 80 IS NOT THE ISSUE!
Check to see if the port 80 is in use first as this can be an issue.
You can do this by typing "netstat -an" into cmd. The look for 0.0.0.0:80 under Local Address, if you find this is in use then follow the solution from #Karthik. However, I had a similar issue but my port 80 was not in use.
My XAMPP had wrong paths locations, steps to fix this:
1.Find out the Apache version you are using, you can find this by looking in Services (Control panel, Admin Tools, Services) and finding Apache in my case it was listed as Apache2.4
2.Close XAMPP.
3.Run cmd as admin.
4.execute 'sc delete "Apache2.4"' (put your version in place of mine and without the surrounding ' ', but with the " " around Apache).
5.execute 'sc delete "mySQL"', again remove the '' when you type it.
6.reopen XAMPP and try starting Apache
If you are having trouble with FileZill, Mercury, or Tomcat you could try it here too, but I have not tested that myself.
Hope this helps!
I realized it was a port issue since I was running IIS and other web servers in my machine. But I was more interested to see a detailed error message with the port number in the UI.
Seems like it was not logged in the UI or log file (at least in my case), but in the Event viewer (Control panel -> View Event Logs). Under the Even viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application
I could see a permission error something like the below one:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443
To fix this permission issue for SSL port, Please change the below line in httpd-ssl.conf (C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra)
# When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
Listen xxx
Replace XXX with any valid port number that is open in your machine
If you are having issues with Port 80, then change the httpd.conf file (C:\xampp\apache\conf)
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 127.0.0.1:8000
I have also summarized other solutions that I came across:
Most often Skype blocks the Apache port. So terminate it and try again.
Find the process id (PID) that is using the Blocked port ( netstat -ano) and kill the corresponding process in Windows Task Manager.
For those who have accidentally (or not) changed one of the .conf files and apache does not run even after trying all the above solutions.
One easy way to track where the issue is located, is to run Apache via command prompt:
(On windows) : open command prompt as admin then navigate inside the bin folder of Apache , next run
httpd in order to run apache
C:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd
For my case it was :
someone had added a virtual host in the specific file that caused the problem . I commented the lines and Apache ran fine.
start xampp (as administrator),
(1) right click C:\xampp\xampp-control.exe, and run as administrator.
(2) unistall service module and then install service module.
(3) now try start the apache and mysql.
Check your DocumentRoot path (in httpd.conf); a typo there can cause this problem.
Had the same issue while updating to PHP7.2
Problem:
First I closed skype and then checked whether port 80 is not an issue. How you can check that? See #AlexT comment above.
In my case, port 80 wasn't an issue. So now I had to figure out what was wrong. So I checked Error Logs Control Panel > Even viewer > Windows Logs > Application and found following error against Apache2.4
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 520 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 18 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf: Cannot load C:/xampp/php/php7ts.dll into server: The Apache service named is not a valid Win32 application.
Which means I had installed wrong PHP version. Actually I downloaded win64 version while the required version was Win32 for me.
So I downloaded correct version from: Download PHP 7.2.0 extracted it in C:/xampp/php folder, restarted the apache and it worked :)
I had the same issue, executing "setup_xampp.bat" in xampp folder solved my issue.
I had the same problem but it was because I had a previous version of xampp already installed and I tried to install a newer version. I had installed the newer version in another file directory (I had named the file directory xampp2). I solved the problem by uninstalling the newer version, renaming the old one (I renamed it xamppold) and I installed xampp again.
I guess if you haven't installed xampp in another file directory , it should be enough to reinstall xampp. If you are worried about your files , you always can make a backup before reinstalling xampp.
I solved the problem after watching the xampp activity log (the list of the bottom) and realizing xampp was trying to open the custom file path but I had another route path. If the first option didn't work, at least you can scroll up in the activity log and see what's error you get while starting as admin and trying to re install the Apache module or trying to start the module.
You may wander why I didn't just simply uninstall the whole thing from the beginning , and the answer would be because I had to tweak a couple of things in xampp for some different projects (from changing the ports , to add .dll to run mongo.db in Apache), and I was just too lazy to re-do everything again :b
I hope my answer can be helpful for anyone since this is my first time writing in stackoverflow :)
Cheers
In my case, with the same problem and Xampp window, I had copied \apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf entries from an old Xampp version to a newly installed one so I could continue to open local projects in browsers. One of the vhosts paths was wrong. After deleting that entry Apache started without problem.
The reference by #Karthik to "in the Event viewer (Control panel -> View Event Logs" saved me time. It's all too easy to presume Xampp logs will point to the problem. It doesn't.
Also check if your xampp is installed in the main directory like C or D or E and not in or within a folder of that directory? i.e. ( "D:/Xampp" or is it "D:/something/Xampp") if its not in the main path of the directory, it will show this error.
copy your xampp directory from "D:\Something\Xampp" to "D:"
So it becomes like this "D:\Xampp"
and the issue will be resolved.
Starting Xampp as a console application (simply by doubleclicking xampp_start.exe in the Xampp root folder) was the only thing that worked for me on Windows 10 (no Skype, no Word Wide Web Publishing Service). WampServer and UwAmp also didn't work.
I had a hard-coded IP in httpd.conf and my local IP had changed which was causing my issue, changed IP over and all worked again
My scenario was different after I tested all the possible options. If you have changed the ports and still get the same problem, well here's something you can try out. This was done in Windows 7.
Step 1: Confirm the cause of the error by going to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application -> Error. Mine said "The Apache service named reported the following error:
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 424 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load c:\xampp\php\php5apache.dll into server: The specified module could not be found." So I needed to change \php5apache.dll to the version of my php and apache version installed which was php7apache2_4.dll
Step 2: To get the correct name for your .dll php and apache file, got to C:\xampp\php. You will see something like php7apache2_4.dll with other files in the folder.
Step 3: Go to C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf and edit the configuration file and change "c:\xampp\php\php5apache.dll" to "c:\xampp\php\php7apache2_4.dll" in my case. Make sure you open the file as administrator save changes made.
Step 4: Run the xampp server and everything should work fine. Do not forget to shut down the xampp server before doing the changes to the apache configuration file.
Hope this helps. Cheers! :)
Try to install x86 version of XAMPP. The default XAMPP version on their website is x64 (maybe because I'm using x64 Windows 7).

I had this issue when I installed under Program Files, which they do not recommend due to write issues. This might only be a problem if you are not logged in as an admin and use a password to install. I just uninstalled and installed in a directory that did not need admin privileges.
Make sure Apache didn't get Disabled in Services (Control panel, Admin Tools, Services). If it's Disabled then Set it to Manual and it should run. That was my case, I found Apache Disabled.
Solution for my particular scenario (It had been working a couple days before getting borked):
Port 80 was not the problem, but something I had done while messing around with Services and Startup.
Type msconfig on Windows' Start menu
Click System Configuration
Screenshot for System Configuration
In the Services tab, search for Apache24 (Click "Hide all Microsoft services" in the checkbox at the bottom of the window to make it easier to find)
If its checkbox isn't checked, check it
If it was already checked, then this guide isn't going to help. However if it is:
Click OK, your PC will have to restart
Try once again! In my case Apache was already running once I opened Xampp
I had the same issue.Just click on services button.Then find apache and right cick > properties > set startup type as Automatic/ Manual. Now close apache and try again.It will work!
For me it wasn't a port or service issue; I had to re-run the XAMPP setup script. Although this didn't directly fix the issue for me, the script was much more verbose than the XAMPP log, pointing me in the right direction to actually solve the problem.
From the XAMPP GUI, click on Shell, type set, press Tab to autocomplete to the setup_xampp.bat file, and then press Enter to run it.
In my case I got the following output:
[ERROR]: Test php.exe failed !!!
[ERROR]: Perhaps the Microsoft C++ 2008 runtime package is not installed.
[ERROR]: Please try to install the MS VC++ 2008 Redistributable Package from the Mircrosoft page first
[ERROR]: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582
This particular error is misleading. Although it specifies the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package, PHP 7.4.x requires the Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package.
After installing that and following the prompt to restart, sure enough I'm now able to start Apache as normal.
make sure no space in front of the port number if you ever edited it.
From Xampp control panel, click on config (next to Apache), then choose Apache(httpd.config), search for listen 80 and change the port to another port.
If nothing works with you, I would suggest you download MAMP and use it instead.
It does the same thing, if not better.
Comment this lines from httpd.conf:
# Virtual hosts
#Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
In the case you're using them it may solve.
when i run xampp control panel normal:
I had been run
I can’t start apache
So, I will run it with administrator:
I can run apache
I setup Laravel Homestead. I then configured both homestead xdebug.ini and PHPStorm to make the debugging work.
Here is my xdebug.ini inside homestead
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_autostart = on
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_connect_back = on
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.idekey = "vagrant"
To start a debugging session the steps I follow are
In PHPStorm --> Start Listening for connections
In PHPStorm set a breakpoint
In my browser --> Use XDebug Chrome Helper OR add to my URL ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=
Load the page
This works perfectly. My problem is when I'm inside homestead command line and I run a php artisan command then I can't get it to hit my breakpoints.
What I've tried
XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=PHPSTORM" PHP_IDE_CONFIG="serverName=server_name" php -dxdebug.remote_host="127.0.0.1" artisan mycommand
php -d xdebug.profiler_enable=On artisan mycommand
I also tried to set xdebug.remote_autostart=On then sudo service php5-fpm restart but still my breakpoints never get hit in PHPStorm
Two things are important:
remote_connect_back can not work in the CLI case because Xdebug can not detect the remote IP when you are in the console
When using homestead / VirtualBox in the NAT network configuration, your development machine (which is running PHPStorm) does not have the IP 127.0.0.1 seen from inside the VM. Instead, it has usually an IP like 10.0.2.2. To find out the correct IP, have a look at your Apache's access.log,
The following worked for me:
php -dxdebug.remote_autostart=on -dxdebug.remote_connect_back=off
-dxdebug.remote_host=10.0.2.2 artisan
edit If your breakpoints are not hit, you have to set up the folder mappings correctly (as your path in the IDE is different from what the web server sees:
Do export PHP_IDE_CONFIG="serverName=yourservername" in your VM, where yourservername is what you configured in the screenshot under "name"
Add a Php Remote Debug Configuration with an IDE key and the server configured above
And add your IDE key and the remote_host to the VM's XDEBUG-CONFIG
export XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=artisan remote_host=10.0.2.2"
References: http://randyfay.com/content/remote-command-line-debugging-phpstorm-phpdrupal-including-drush
Or, if that all is just too complicated or not working - you can trigger your artisan command via a url (route) using
Artisan::call('whatever:command');
In most recent versions of Homestead you can do xphp artisan whatever and phpstorm will popup a windows automatically.

I just installed XAMPP lite on Windows 7. I have two drives - C: for the OS and regular files, and an external drive E:. I installed XAMPP lite on E: (on the root), and its been giving me problems. Apache works well enough, but MySQL doesn't work. When I go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/, it gives me the following error:
Error
MySQL said:
#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
Any ideas as to what could be the problem? I used the zip file for XAMPP lite, the 32 bit version. This is on Windows 7 Home premium.
Thanks!
This happened to me today, and it was because Dropbox.exe was using port 3306. If you run the Port-Check from XAMPP control panel, you will be able to see if there are any conflicting port issues.
You need to actually start the MySQL database server.
Start the XAMPP Control Panel and click the "Start" button just to the right of where it says MySQL.
(Or run the "mysql_start" batch file)
Please edit your config.inc.php file in phpmyadmin subfolder inside xampp's installation, and specify '127.0.0.1' (instead of any other value like 'localhost) for the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] setting as follows:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
Then try with:
http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin
and it should work (at least it worked for me and I had exactly the same problem).
If this doesn't work you can try solutions described here:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?35,64808,254785#msg-254785
OR:
you can leava the setting mentioned above as:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
and edit %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts adding the line (if it doesn't already exist):
127.0.0.1 localhost
Please note: I am using xampp beta which you can find here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-beta.html
EDIT:
Recently I have found this link http://www.ihostnz.com/howto-install-xampp-windows-7-xdebug-netbeans, followed the instructions there and now everything works like a breeze.
Sometimes I get this error:
ERROR: MySql service not started [-1]
when installing XAMPP on developers' machines (Windows-based), because often developers already have a MySql installation on their computers. MySql installs itself as service with the default name "MySql"; XAMPP uses this name too for his own MySql, it gets confused. So, my solution is:
remove existing "MySql" service, the one created by the MySql installer;
re-add it with a new name (not "MySql")
use XAMPP happily :)
Here is a more general article (in italian language, but you should figure it out):
XAMPP: cosa fare quando qualche servizio non parte (Windows)
just go to the xampp folder then phpmyadmin folder. here u will see a user_password.php file. just make the password null
