这个错误很常见，网上给出的答案各式各样，这个是最简单，最有效的。为方便英语不是很好的同学，所以就对以上内容进行翻译(义译）一下。

我在Windows Vista上打开XAMPP服务器时，弹出错误信息：“ERROR: Apache service not started [-1]”。你是否曾经面临同样的问题...如果是的！可以用如下方法来解决。

1、确保Apache已经停止

2、确保SVC未选中此复选框

3、在你的XAMPP文件夹（例如我的XAMPP安装在C：\，XAMPP文件夹就是C：\ XAMPP\ apache \，）下，双击“apache_uninstallservice.bat”运行。

4、上述步骤后，现在打开您的XAMPP控制面板，点击“开始”按钮，注意不选中SVC复选框。
