Hi guys, my xampp has been useless for weeks & You have always led me
back on the path & I thank you in advance. I was determined to conquer
this own but all this trial error & reading hundreds of posts I haven’t
quite made it.
I’m running windows7 64 & 32 bit. I can’t access to phpmyadmin.
I used 1.7.3 for years w/no probs & just got a wild hair.
I have documentation. If you’re willing to help Just tell
what to do.

here is the message at the bottom of the control panel
before startup of the server:

I think something is already using port 80, so Apache can’t use it, I believe Skype is a common culprit for this, so you can either stop Skype from starting automatically with Windows (it will automatically change port if it detects 80 is in use), or you can change the Apache configuration to use a different port.

Smokey, thanks for your input.
I am running xampp 1.7.3. I start the machine(win7 32 bit) it says the console is already running, in fact I can’t stop it but when I key 127.0.0.1, then status:

Component Status Hint MySQL database [b] DEACTIVATED [/b] PHP ACTIVATED Perl with mod_perl ACTIVATED Apache::ASP ACTIVATED HTTPS (SSL) ACTIVATED Common Gateway Interface (CGI) ACTIVATED Server Side Includes (SSI) ACTIVATED IPv4 ACTIVATED IPv6 ACTIVATED SMTP Service DEACTIVATED FTP Service DEACTIVATED

A port check displays :

apache (http) 80 service:apache 2.4 apache (webdav) 81 free apache (https) 443 service:apache 2.4 all others are free

below is a last part of the apache error log:
