为什么我的xampp服务器在我更新时没有启动

Question

In order to update PHP I downloaded the latest version of XAMPP which is 3.2.3 and installed it in the newxampp directory and then I renamed it to xampp and the previously present xampp folder was renamed to xamppp or something. Now the current xampp has the latest PHP version which is php7 but when I run the Apache and MySQL, it does not start and give me the message

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.   
[Apache]    This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,        
[Apache]    improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.   
[Apache]    Press the Logs button to view error logs and check   
[Apache]    the Windows Event Viewer for more clues   
[Apache]    If you need more help, copy and post this

I don't know what to do please help me.

Answer 1

Sometimes in that bundled servers you have defined variables that set the path for the php module directory or some other parts. So you should rename the old directory first then install the new one to that directory that you have a running version and copy the needed parts back to the new one.

Otherwise i think you get some problems in running it.
