When i test the port 80 it says :

What Causes this problem?

Please check that you have the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 installed on this computer.
Apache 2.4.9 requires this library to be installed.
Click the download button and then select either the X86(32bit) or X64(64bit) link to match the version of WAMPServer(32 or 64) that you installed.
If you are running on a 64bit Windows, its a good idea to download and install both the 64 and 32 bit libraries, as something somewhere you use in the future will also require the library.

Apache/PHP Won't Start in Ampps

All of the sudden, Apache in Ampps won't start anymore. Of course, I have tried checking port 80, but nothing is listening/running on port 80. Please help, thank you. Also, I have checked the Apache logs and according to the logs everything is fine. But, in the Ampps UI, it says next to Apache, "Stopped."
Here is a part of the logs:

I fixed it! I just had to replace all the PHP files with new ones!

Sessions in PHP 7

I have been working with PHP 5.xx for years but recently updated to PHP 7. I can't create sessions.
I have read the documentation.
In earlier PHP, you just have to do:
session_start();
to start session, but this doesn't work with PHP 7 and my page keeps loading. I provided the array in the parameter too as documented on the PHP website but still it keeps loading the page.
I have tried this:
session_start([
'cache_limiter' => 'private',
'read_and_close' => true,
]);
But my browser keeps loading and after few seconds it displays 'This webpage is not available'

I found its a bug related to xampp version i.e. x86 or x64 bit.
I have a system with x64 bit windows and i installed a xampp with php7 but it was x86 bit. This was a reason for that error apache crashes.
Now i separately installed apach2.4 (x64) and PHP7.0.1 which is working perfect now.

It is not Apache that is the issue.
You probably have a database corruption.
Look at your mysql error log using the wampmanager menus like this
wampmanager -> MySQL -> MySQL Log
First things first.
Close WAMP and try netstat -a or use CurrPorts.
Check which process is using the same port that WAMP uses, 80? 443?
Kill the process with taskkill /T /F /IM name_of_process.exe
Try to run WAMP again.
Repeat the process and make sure that Apache is on port 80/443.

XAMPP v.3.2.1: Apache crashes when I try to add variables to a session

Problem: Apache keeps crashing if I try to update the global $_SESSION variable in PHP. These are the entries added to error.log in case of a crash.
From apache\logs\error.log:

Windows Event viewer
About my source code: I have a php script and intend to add variables to an existing session. For that matter, I use $_SESSION and set some keys to arrays, i.e. $_SESSION['foo'] = bar, where bar is an array containing objects of a very simple class having only some string attributes.
If I do that the first time, I'm fine. If I re-assign a value to $_SESSION['foo'] after reloading the page, Apache crashes and immediately restarts. I was able to isolate the crash to this very line, as commenting it out turned out to prevent the crash. First, I assumed my session is somehow corrupted or I use it incorrectly. But if I manually set $_SESSION['foo'] = "", instead of assigning an array, no crash occurs.
Similar reports I found in the web had different error sources, so I tried a few things, e.g.:
Run XAMPP as administrator
Increase the thread stack size in httpd.conf
Deactivate unused php-extensions
Switched to different ports, etc.
Turned off SSL
Unfortunately, nothing helped in my case.
PS: I use XAMPP v.3.2.1 with PHP 5.6.8 on Windows 8.1 (64bit).
EDIT: As suggested by donald123, I turned off SSL. The error persists, but I posted a cleaner log snippet.

caught SIGTERM error PHP FAST-CGI APACHE Ubuntu14.4

I installed PHP 5.2.17 as per the following tutorial
http://zgadzaj.com/how-to-install-php-53-and-52-together-on-ubuntu-1204
apt-get installed PHP5.5 and apache 2.4.7
PHPINFO reports that the php version of the set host is still 5.5.9
when I restart apache2 service, I get the following in error.log.

Removing php5.5 solved the problem.
The problem probably was a conflict between the two PHP versions, using same fastcgi implementation.
