apache service not stopping in xampp [closed]

Question

I tried to stop the apache service in xampp, but it does not stop from running and it shows up an error "Busy...ERROR: -1" What is the cause of this problem of how do I resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

What OS are you using? Are you using the XAMPP control panel?

In windows press

Start
Run
Type "Services.msc"
Find the "Apache" service
Right click and stop

I find i get this error if i start the apache service without the control panel but try to stop it with the control panel.
