I had my Apache service not start same as MySQL one. Please follow these steps if none of above tips works :

1. Open regedit.exe on any windows this available . Run as administrator. (Only on windows 7 and later editions )
   2. Go to local machine/system/controlset001/services
   3. Find and delete folders of services apache and mysql .
   4. Uninstall xampp . Delete folder of xampp.
   5. Restart computer and reinstall Xampp . After that your Xampp apache and Mysql should work.

Note: Ports 80 and 443 must be unused by any program. 
      If it is in use . Just edit ports. There is a lot of tutorials about that .

Answer 3

The most likely reason would be that something else is using port 80. (Often this can be Skype, IIS, etc.)
