Xampp for MAC, Apache can't get started - macos

I am using MAC OS X 10.8.4
I am using xampp. It was fine for more than 3 months. But today when I start mysql and apache, the mysql got started and apache threw an error as below,
Syntax error:
httpd: Syntax error on line 454 of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-multilang-errordoc.conf: No such file or directory
I never did any change to any file.
I also tried sudo apachctl stop via terminal, it said unloading error.
Please help me to get my apache start and work again.
::I forgot to say that the "/Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-multilang-errordoc.conf" file exists::
Fixed:: I changed the path for some configuration file and it's working now, but I didn't know the reason it was working fine for a long time

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.

Postgresql can't connect application server through PGAdmin4

I installed PostgreSql on my Windows machine.
I can connect to PostgreSql through cmd.
But when I want to launch pgAdmin I am getting this error message.
Failed to connect to the pgAdmin application server. Click here to try again.
I have also Mysql installed on my machine if it can make any complications.
The same problem happened to me today:
And this is how I've solved it:
1) Use a text editor to open the config_distro.py file under the c:\Program Files\pgAdmin 4\v1\web folder. Change the value for SERVER_MODE from True to False, then save the change. (I have run Notepad++ as an Administrator, in order to be able to save in this protected folder.)
2) Go to folder c:\Users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin and make sure there is nothing there (delete all the files, as they are temporary and will be restored after starting pgAdmin)
3) Start pgAdmin
4) This time you will see a white box that sits - at least, on my slow laptop - about 20 seconds. (You may briefly see the original error message, but do not worry).
5) Meanwhile, the temporary files - required for running the application - are created.
6) Once the temporary files process is over, the application starts as expected.
Try starting the pgAdmin as administrator.
My config_distro.py was missing this line:
MINIFY_HTML=False
I added it as in the above steps and it works
In my case, SERVER_MODE was already False in config_distro.py. I then proceeded to start pgadmin4 as an administrator. This also did not work. Finally, I resolved this by restarting postgresql service in services.msc.
postgres service restart
In my case, the problem was non-ascii username.
Find pgAdmin installation and open/create config_local.py in editor, add this:
DATA_DIR = "C:/Data/pgAdmin" # set non-ascii path here
and run setup.py using python interpreter.
You can start the server manually - any errors will echo on the terminal. The windows app seems touchy on timing - this allows the server to take as much time as needed to start up.
Assuming you installed version 3 into "p:\pgAdmin 4" run the following commands"
p:
cd "\pgAdmin 4\v3\web"
set PYTHONPATH=P:\pgAdmin 4\v3\venv\Lib;P:\pgAdmin 4\v3\venv\DLLs
python pgAdmin4.py
When I run that I get the following output:
Starting pgAdmin 4. Please navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5050 in your browser.
I ran into this today even though the service was running in Windows 10. I just stopped the service, gave it a few seconds, and restarted it. I was able to connect with pgAdmin 4.
In my case the problem was solved by restarting the postgresql service.
Windows-> Service -> find for postgreSQL -> Stop and then Start

Why won't Apache Server start in MAMP?

I'm trying to view php files locally on my mac.
I'm running Yosemite.
I have MAMP installed on my computer. When I press start the MySQL server starts but Apache doesn't. An error message appears saying 'Error. Apache couldn't be started. Please check your MAMP installation'
I've gone through the internet typing stuff into terminal and changing 'envvars' to '_envvars' but nothing works.
I reinstalled OSX and that worked but when I shut down the computer the problem occurs again.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Check if you changed the Document Root Location or Renamed it. At least this was my mistake.
MAMP > Preferences > Web Server > Document Root
I didn't get it working with port 8000 or the default 8888, but did get it working with port 80 per the suggestion here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1744944
That didn't work after all, but it didn't error out. However I manually ran the following at the command line (because log file was empty):
sudo /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start
Only to find that after upgrading I was missing the mod_example.so
httpd: Syntax error on line 83 of /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /Applications/MAMP/Library/modules/mod_example.so into server: dlopen(/Applications/MAMP/Library/modules/mod_example.so, 10): image not found
Copied it from my old install and I was good to go.
If you try to start the server from the terminal, likely that will tell you what is wrong e.g.
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh
Password:
(48) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8888
(48) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8888
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
What you can do in this case, I was inadvertently running a Blockstack browser out of 8888, so changing MAMP to 8887 allowed it to start. [Your mistake might be different.]
Had the same problem, nothing in the logs. After trying the_dillio's suggestion:
sudo /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start
I got an error that pointed back to my vhosts file. It turns out I had an extra /VirtualHost tag. Removed it and it started working again.
i've solved this issue using this command in the terminal :
sudo apachectl stop
I think I've found the solution.
It was the wrong port. I altered the .conf file in the Apache folder. I changed all instances of port 8888 to 8000. When I run MAMP now it all seems to work fine.
Thanks for your help
Also be aware that if you by any chance deleted the folder that was set as Document Root the last time you were using MAMP, you will get this error. Simply open MAMP again, change Document Root to a location that does exist and start the servers.
I received the same error but interestingly it was caused simply because I renamed the root folder and didn't realize it. Sounds like you have a different issue but for anyone else who gets this error message, make sure you haven't renamed the root!
Absolutely bizarre behavior for MAMP PRO (paid license too btw...)
In my case I had to change the location of the log file in order to get it to work...
Click on Mysql icon then the little folder to the right of the path and try changing it to something else.
For MAMP :
You can open the terminal and write:
ps aux | grep mysql
lsof -i
killall -9 mysqld
I hope is good for you!
Bye
I had this experience when upgrading to V4. It tried to used the files from my previous installation and it just never worked. The workaround was to RENAME the original MAMP installation to something different than "MAMP", install brand new version and then copy files you may need like VHOST configs and DATABASES. After all this it worked just fine.
My Apache server problem arose after I enabled SSL. So if this is your case, check your https-ssl.conf file (Applications -> Mamp -> conf -> apache -> extra). The Document Root under the Virtual Host settings had a different file path for htdocs than where it was actually located (easily overlooked). I changed this to "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs" and problem solved. Perhaps also check Document Root in your https.conf file (Applications -> Mamp -> conf -> apache) to see if it has the correct file path to htdocs too.
These are the steps I used to solve this issue.
Checking vcredist that are required and installing them. to check which are the missing vcredist I used a tool called "check_vcredist" from wamp.
I also installed latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64.
Doing this steps solved my issue of Apache server not running

Apache won't start in wamp

I have been googling for the past few hours but I simply can't get my apache on wamp to start. My skype isn't running, and the test port 80 shows it isn't being used by anything. Before this happened, I was trying to add a new vhost, but now I have reverted back all of the files where I made changes. Anyway to debug why apache won't start?
Clicking on start/resume service for apache doesn't show any errors either.
Also just in case, I am running Win7 64bit
If you have an issue in the httpd.conf or any files included by it there are a couple of ways to find out what the problem is
First look at your Windows Event Viewer. Click on the Windows link in the menu on the left, and then submenu Applications.
Look for messages from Apache with the red error icon.
Secondly, open a command window, then CD into \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.x.y\bin, replace x,y with your actual version.
Now you can run this command to get Apache(httpd) to validate the httpd.conf file.
httpd.exe -t
This should give errors with line numbers related to the http.conf file.
It stops on the first error, so you will have to keep running it and fixing the error and then run it again until it gives the all OK message.
Use apaches startup debug tool from command: httpd.exe -e warn
press Win+R
type cmd and press enter
goto directory which contains your apache httpd.exe file. for example if your wamp is installed in e:\wamp type cd /d e:\wamp\bin\apache\ApacheX.X.X\bin in cmd and press enter.
type httpd.exe -e warn (or httpd.exe -e debug for more details) to see error message about problem which is prohibiting apache to start.
That is what I did and it helped me to find out what my Apache-PHP needed:
C:\Users\Admin>cd C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin>httpd -t
Syntax OK
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin>httpd -k start
[Thu Apr 23 14:14:52.150189 2015] [mpm_winnt:error] [pid 3184:tid 112]
(OS 2)The system cannot find the file specified. : AH00436:
No installed service named "Apache2.4".
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin>
The most simple solution:
Uninstall and reinstall WAMP (do not even try to set it up on top of existing installation - it would not help)
P.S.
If you wonder how did I get to this situation, here is the answer: I was trying to install WAMP and it throws me an error in the middle of installation saying:
httpd.exe - System Error
The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
OK
I got and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679#
And it gave me the "dll" and the MYSQL started working, but not Apache.
To make Apache to work I uninstalled and reinstalled WAMP.
This solved the issue for me:
Right click on the WAMP system try icon -> Tools -> Reinstall all services
Go to C directory and then go to below mentiond path of you wamp server.
C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.46\bin>
Then in Address bar enter "CMD" and press enter.that wil open the command prompt.
Now past below comman
httpd.exe -e warn
to see error message about problem which is prohibiting apache to start.
If you error is releated to port then
Right click on wamp server than on apache and then on httpd.confg,
Now search 80 and replace with 81 in that file and close and restart wamp
Invalid Command '80HostnameLookups' , perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
I got this error when I debug the issue (wamp server was not going online) by the procedure defined by #RiggsFolly. Just comment the line 80HostnameLookups Off by changing it to #80HostnameLookups Off.
This solution worked for me and apache starts running.Note:80HostnameLookups Off can be found on line 222 of httpd.conf file located in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf
phpmyadmin.conf opened with apacheconf.exe and contents chained so you must do the following:
copy contents of phpsysinfo.conf [C:\wamp\alias]
paste into phpmyadmin.conf [C:\wamp\alias]
change Alias /phpsysinfo "c:/wamp/apps/phpsysinfo3.1.12/" to Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/"
change <Directory c:/wamp/apps/phpsysinfo3.1.12/ /> to <Directory c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/ />
its worked for me.
My solution was that 2 .dll files(msvcp110.dll, msvcr110.dll) were missing from the directory :
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin
So I copied these 2 files to all these locations just in case and restarted wamp it worked
C:\wamp
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12
I hope this helps someone out.
Sometimes it is Skype or another application "Holding" on to port 80. Jusct close Skype
My solution on Windows 10 was just to stop IIS (Internet Information Services).
If Apache is installed as a Windows service, any errors will show up in the Windows System event log. To view the System event log, navigate to Windows Administrative Tools->Event Viewer and open the System log in the Windows Logs folder. Or, you can see the same errors by running httpd.exe at the command line. In my case, httpd.exe is located here: C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.26-2\apache2\bin.
If there is a problem with starting Apache, most likely the problem can be fixed by editing the httpd.conf file located in the \apache2\conf folder.
As already suggested, you can check the syntax of the httpd.conf file by running httpd.exe -t at the command line.
I found that the I had to
Change SetEnv PATH "C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.26-2\apache2\bin;${PATH}" in httpd.conf
to
SetEnv PATH "C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.26-2\apache2\bin;%PATH%"
I had the same problem. My port 80 was not in use.
After thorough research, all I did was to download Update for Universal C Runtime.
Once installed and my PC restarted, all was OK.
I was having the same problem, the mysql service was starting but not the apache service, the main problem about that is one of your virtual hosts isn't config. correctly, all i did was deleted the virtual host that i created "D:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts, restarted all services apache service started working correctly and so i just went to localhost and added a virtual host automatically and so it worked!!
I was having same problem.
I followed this steps, problem solved.
run command line (CMD) with Administrator Permission.
cd c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.27/bin
httpd.exe -k uninstall
httpd.exe -k install
at last restart all services from wamp system tray icon
It turns out I didn't have Microsoft visual c++ installed, installing it solved the problem for me.
If you have Microsoft Visual Studio running at time of running, try to disconnect it and try again

Mod_jk will not load in Apache 2

I need some help getting this to work. It's starting to get on my nerves and I'm sure I'm missing some bizzarely simple and easy oversight somewhere to get this to work. I have Apache 2 setup with XAMPP. I'm running snow leopard 10.6, I have Tomcat running on localhost:8080 just fine. I made and installed the mod_jk.c and is in /usr/libexec/apache2
When I put in this code:
LoadModule jk_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_jk.so
Apache says back to me:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_jk.so into server: cannot create object file image or add library
I've re-installed mod_jk a couple times. I've placed it in different spots by the "cp" command (like /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/modules/) and nothing seems to work. Running out of options to get this to work. Please help.
do you have something like APACHE_DIR/modules/?
are you sure you .so file is not corrupted? or what version you have? 32bit or 64bit?
