Windows could not start the Apache2 on Local Computer - problem

Question

During the installation of Apache2 I got the following message into cmd window:

Installing the Apache2.2 service The Apache2.2 service is successful

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I checked netstat, other processes running, firewall and changed httpd.conf, stopped antivirus, But all my efforts were in vain. :(

So finally the solution was to stop the IIS. And it worked :)

I guess IIS and apache cant work together. If anybody know any work around let us know.
