-- FAQ --
-------------------------------------------
1. Apache won't start.
A. There can be several reasons,
Case 1: It could be due to a port conflict i.e some other application or web server must be using port 80.
Solution: Make sure that no other Application is listening on port 80.
Mac Users can use Port Scan Feature of Network Utility to check which Application is listening on port 80.
Windows Users follow this post Follow http://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=1575&title=Apache_won%27t_start
Case 2: Incorrect httpd.conf.
Solution: We can always find why Apache din't work by running the following command in Terminal/command prompt(Start -> Run -> cmd):
Mac Users:
/Applications/AMPPS/apache/bin/httpd
Linux Users:
/usr/local/ampps/apache/bin/httpd
Windows Users:
"path/to/Ampps/apache/bin/httpd.exe"
The above commands starts Apache if everything is correct, else it will throw an error.
