Question

When I'm trying to start the Apache 2.2 server it is showing the following message: The Requested Operation has failed

In command Prompt it is showing as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\amth>net start apache2.2
The Apache2.2 service is starting.
The Apache2.2 service could not be started.

A service specific error occurred: 1.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.

Answer 1

Open run( win + r ) in windows and then type services.msc. Search for Apache service. Double click on the service and select any startup type other than disabled. This should work like a charm.

Answer 2

Open conf folder then open httpd.conf file in your text editor. Find this line:

Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Listen 80 and change it to

Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Listen 8080

Then hit save
