Topic : Can't start Apache, please help!

Hello,

I really need your help. I recently bought a new computer with Windows 10, and I would like to continue building on my Wordpress website on this. I have managed to transfer Ampps across from my laptop to my new computer but apache won't start, although my SQL will. When I press 'start' nothing actually happens.

I would really appreciate any advice on this.

Thank you! 
Claire

On windows 10 IIS server is by default runs on port 80.
You have to stop IIS server to Run Ampps Apache.

Try this:

In run(windows+R) type services and press enter.

Search for following services and stop them if they are running.

World Wide Web Publishing Service.
IIS.
Web Deployment Agent Service.

Follow this guide:

Also check for Skype, because Skype uses by default port 80.

If you are still facing the same issue then please copy paste your Apache Error Log here.

AMPPS Control panel --> Apache --> Error Log files. Copy last few lines and paste here.
