Apache server in XAMPP not starting

If your Apache server is Xampp is not starting there might be a host of problems Instead of starting it via Xampp control panel ,I would better suggest you to start via command prompt

Step 1
Open the command prompt and go to C:/Program Files/Xampp directory (whereever xampp is installed,In this case my default directory is the above one)

Step 2:
Execute this command apache_start  and you may get the error message or what prevents apache from starting.  


Step 3: From the screenshot above ,we can clearly infer that the problem is with the http.conf file (Xampp/apache/bin/)and in addition of virtual hosts.So edit it and rerun the command again to get apache started in Xampp

Apache may not start because of these reasons
a)httpd.conf  - Incorrect format for Virtual hosts

b)Clash of port numbers with another program see this post to know more details about it if you have the second problem
