I was facing an issue while starting the Apache Server running in XAMPP on the Windows system; the server was not starting from the XAMPP control panel but was able to start the server directly by running the httpd.exe.
The start task was struck while doing through the XAMPP control panel
Also, was seeing the below exception in the error log.
VirtualProtect() failed [87] The parameter is incorrect
Port 80 was not in use; some configuration changes did not help.
Finally, the issue was due to the existing service entry for Apache2.4.
Properties
To resolve the issue, remove the Apace2.4 service entry.
Run the below command as an administrator through the command line
sc delete "Apache2.4."
Create a new service entry for the XAMPP Apache server
Create a new service entry for the XAMPP Apache server
Run apache_installservice.bat from xampp/apache folder - this will create a new Apache2.4 service pointing to the XAMPP apache server
Now the Apache server can be managed through the XAMPP control panel.
