XAMPP Error: Apache Attempting to start Apache service... and error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly

Question

I looked through a lot of posts but I did not find the answer. So I decided to ask.

I have problem with my XAMPP.

When i am trying to launch apache nothing happens. Just Attempting to start Apache service...

When i am trying to launch MySQL i can see only this:

18:26:33 [mysql] Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.

18:26:33 [mysql] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,

18:26:33 [mysql] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

Answer 1

Change ServerName localhost:80 to ServerName localhost:8080, save file xampp\apache\conf\htpd.conf, reset Apache in xampp\xamp-control.exe and see does Apache is working.
