title: I cannot run apache
body: <p>I installed xamp 1.8.1 and when I went to start Apache in the control panel, I pressed start and 2 seconds later it stops running. The control panel says this:</p>
  
  <p>09:42:54 م  [Apache]    Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
  09:42:54 م  [Apache]    This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
  09:42:54 م  [Apache]    improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
  09:42:54 م  [Apache]    Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file
  09:42:54 م  [Apache]    and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues</p>
  
  <p>can anyone please tell me how I can fix this problem? I tried searching for the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file, but I could not find it. Thank you, for any help.</p>
