Hi guys,

I need your help.

Yesterday we tried to update our XAMPP server with the latest httpd version.

So we have download it. and put it on our webserver.

Then we renamed the current apache folder to apache_old and drag and drop the new apace folder in the root. Then we have copied the conf folder of the _old folder in to the new one.
And tried to start the XAMPP apache server. But now it giving us an error:

Quote:
17:14:55 [Apache] Port 443 in use by ""C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\vsvnhttpsvc.exe" -k runservice -C "LoadModule log_visualsvn_module bin/mod_log_visualsvn.so" -E nul" with PID 2592!
17:14:55 [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
17:14:55 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
17:14:55 [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port


But when we rename the current new folder to for example apache_new and rename the apache_old folder again to apache then the Apache server works.

Or we did make a wrong copy/paste or something else is not working[/img]

Sounds like the port(s) that your Apache configuration uses are still active. Did you shutdown the previous server instance before attempting the upgrade?

You can confirm the port is currently in listen mode using the netstat command, viz:
Code:
C:\>netstat -an | findstr /r ":443.*LISTEN"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:443           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

(change 443 to your configured Apache port as needbe)

Alternatively, your can use the GUI Resource Monitor utility "resmon", which will also show you the process using the listen port.

Then shutdown/kill the old process.

we did shutdown indeed the XAMPP server before doing this..

and just copy pased from the old folder to the new apache folder nothing else, you should think it is working right?

I would expect it to work, providing the configured ports are currently free. Your error message suggests otherwise.

Presume you've confirmed the ports are not still attached to a running process?

Is there a possibility to see in Xampp, and how to solve the problem in this case. As we always use SVN on 443 port.
