Is not my first time to install XAMPP (Apache, Mysql, PHP). After reformat my computer, I’ve to reinstall it back. Then only can run WordPress locally.

The XAMPP or Apache Friends installation is straight forward. No configuration, just follow the setup wizard.

Troubleshoot Apache Webserver Error

This time is weird. After install, XAMPP control panel can’t start Apache webserver. To be more accurate, it start then stop back. And it show “Busy”.

It show the same error after tried for few times. Even log file didn’t provide more help.

Mysql and PHP server running well. So is not the XAMPP problem. I suspect some app has blocked the port 80 (http port).

Resolve Apache Port Error

First step is to identify which process or app is holding the port 80. I download fport utility by FoundStone. It is command based (DOS based) tool. Extract to hard drive and run in command prompt. (more…)

Im glad to see you all again here! Last week, all my blogs (including my wife and my brother) were down due to bandwidth limit exceeded! This is the first time happen on me.

2 weeks before this happen, I noticed my blog’s bandwidth increasing too fast and I have upgraded extra 1GB bandwidth to support till end of the month. But the fact is it fail to support such traffics. Recently, my blog has reaching nearly average 1000 visits daily.

Why Upgrade Blog Hosting Plan?

My current blog hosting plan is 5GB bandwidth per month. This blog itself already took up more than 4GB bandwidth. The other 2 blogs consume the rest bandwidth. I have upgraded blog hosting plan two times since I start blogging within 6 months. Now, I have no choice but to upgrade for the third time!

I am so sad because my blogs have to down till start of next month to release bandwidth. I apologize for my nearly 100 RSS subscribers that follow my post daily. Fortunately, I still can micro blogging using twitter. (more…)
