Why isn't wamp starting? (there's no apache logs) - windows

I installed wamp on windows 8.1 and it's not starting. Apache, mysql and php, none of it has started. I checked my antivirus and antikeylogger and it's not being blocked. When I check the apache error log and apache access log, it says that the log files do not exist. Without a log file, how do I troubleshoot the error?

Apache remains stopped in Ampps windows 10

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.

How do I upgrade Apache Tomcat from 6.0.20 to 6.0.24?

Our security team has scanned our production server and identified vulnerabilities with Apache Tomcat server v 6.0.20.
They have recommended that Apache be upgraded to 6.0.24. Reading through the forums, I believe this is the process to do so
Take a backup of httpd.conf file
Using add remove programs, uninstall version 6.0.20
Install 6.0.24
But, I have some questions depending on a quick test I did to install 6.0.20 and upgrade it to 6.0.24
Where do I get Tomcat administrator login information?
Is it enough just to backup the HTTPD.CONF file? I was thinking to back up everything in the Apache folder instead.
Is it possible not to upgrade 6.0.20 to 6.0.24 by running the MSI installer over the same Apache folder? Is it due to the HTTP/1.1 Connector Port being busy/used that doesn't allow an update of Tomcat on the same port?
Is a restart of the server required after upgrade?
Last but not the least, I am using these executables to test the upgrade. 6.0.20 gets installed fine but when I run 6.0.24, it prompts me for the JRE path and directing it to 6.0.20 JVM Path gives me a message that "JVM is not found". The JVM info on the Apache manager is in this directory
What am I missing here?
I need your thoughts and advice to make this as easy as possible since this is a production server.

WampApache Service not running

I am using wamp for 2 years, but now it is giving an error
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
on running localhost and phpmyadmin.
I tried the following:
Restarted all services.
Downloaded and installed again
Checked that no other program was using port 80.
skype is not running.
In services wampmysqld is running but wampapache is not running.
Tried to run service manually and it says
Windows could not start the wampapache on local computer.
Do you have any solution for this?
The wampserver shows the status of online and its color is orange.
Before the error occurred it was green.

XAMPP - local host problems

I have picked up some possible answers to my problem here, but none have so far worked.
I have installed XAMPP but get the dreaded HTTP 404 error on both IE and Firefox when asking for 'http://localhost/'. I work with Dreamweaver but cannot get the testing server (XAMPP) to work, although I can connect to the linux/apache remote server.
Skype has been uninstalled. Therefore XAMPP is running on port 80 by itself.
XAMPP says Apache and Mysql have 'started'.
Is there someone that could please help me?
If some other software is using the same port as XAMPP, so please change it. Like Skype is using 80 or 443 change it and then run xampp.
Thanks Colin and nc3b,
In \xampp\apache\logs\error.log is this message:
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 35 of
C:/Program Files
(x86)/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
ServerRoot must be a valid directory
Line 35 says: ServerRoot "/xampp/apache"
Typed this C:\Program Files\xampp\apache into browswer which pointed me to apache_installservice which loaded (url c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe) saying apache isn't installed, went through a couple of yes/no questions on the dos type browser page - this resulted in the system saying several files could not be installed (chmod reasons).
When installing XAMPP, instead of going with the default drive of c:/ I instructed that XAMPP be installed in c:/programfiles - Duhhhh maybe this is my problem?
Will try reinstalling directly on the c:/ drive.
Thanks for pointing me in the direction..... will let you know the outcome....
Close Skype if you have it open... just a shot in the dark. If it fixes your issue, then change the port number it uses, I had an issue a while back where Skype prevented XAMPP from running.
I had exactly the same problem recently after installing node.js on windows 8, my wordpress admin stopped working. Here's what fixed the problem: I opened command line as administrator and type NET STOP HTTP. (this stopped the default windows web server which use port 80).
After doing this I'm able to access my Wordpress administrator site which use port 80 by default.
