i use linux but If you're using windows all you need to do is stop IIS7 from running because for your Apache to work it needs to make use of port 80 which is what IIS7 is using so shut it down. easiest method is click start type cmd . and when the command prompt pops up type in this code. " net stop was" hit enter type "y" again hit enter and you're good to go. start your xampp. easy way to start xampp open any of your browser and type localhost hit enter . you should get a welcome message. note for mysql to work you need to start mysql service from xampp control panel. Hope this help

sorry was a wrong command syntax use "net stop wmsvc" then when it ask for <y/n> type y and enter in the command line window- or to use the UI mode "Click Start, and then click Control Panel Then click System and Security, and then click Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager then look for stop in the right pane.

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, improper privileges, a crash or shutdown by another method,

NB, everytime I start my xampp control panel v3.2.1. A msg pops from my taskbar.

cool is mysql working now?
Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by syllang(m): 1:35pm On Aug 30, 2013
cyrielo: cool is mysql working now?
Yes. Thanks a lot, @octavo @cyrielo @djtm @known pal. Et al. Thanks a lot. I wouldn't have gotten anything better elsewhere.

For the benefit of others lyk me.
XAMPP contains x(your operating system), Apache , Mysql, Php, perl.

So whenever you are thinking of downloading apache, mysql, php, perl and installing them ONE BY ONE. Just download XAMPP and follow the instruction on how to use it.
Better programmers know the advntgs n disadvntgs of this.
