Being using xampp for some php levels for months now and all was fine up till yesterday when Apache just stopped working....I've tried all solutions I found online, none seems to work.. Any help from a good samaritan??

Have you tried to reinstall XAMPP?

Do you use Skype ?
if yes, make sure you start your XAMPP server before you start your skype.

Exactly! This actually happened to me, later found out Skype was the culprit.

changing the default port from 80 to 81 or logging out of Skype ?

Did you receive an error message? Describe the behaviour. Check that skype thing.

I dnt use skype tho....Thanks y'all, finally got it done after so many troubleshooting...I backed up d HTdocs wit ma php nd mysql folder nd uninstalled it, installing again nd it still ddnt work, I discovered that it's probably a program on my system using the port 80 tho i ddnt see d program even after checkin d PID of my processes on task manager, I den decided to stop some of d ports by running some (net stop http) on cmd, dat worked like a charm.. I explained just in case someone is in need of such help in futyre...Gracias!!!
