I haven’t used xampp for a long time. I encountered a problem when I started Apache service just now

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.

This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,

improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method

Check the “/xampp/apache/logs/error.log” file

and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

This may be due to a blocked port

In the past, when Apache was opened in xampp, it generally occupied ports 80 and 443

Check whether these two ports are occupied

You can enter netstat – ano in the CMD to view it, or you can directly press netstat on the control panel of xampp to view the current occupied port

I quickly found that port 443 was occupied by the virtual machine, and shut down the process. Open Apache again

Generally, if you encounter problems, check ports 80 and 443 first
