Whenever I start Apache, this is the error I get:
The requested operation has failed! I never got this error message before until recently.
I also checked my logs and here's the message:

I did the command you gave me, and here's the reply:

C:\Apache24\bin>httpd.exe -S
VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost

port 80 namevhost www.jesrearth.com (C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf:552)
alias jesrearth.com
port 80 namevhost www.joypsychotherapy.ca (C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf:558)
alias joypsychotherapy.ca

Main DocumentRoot: "C:/www"
Main ErrorLog: "C:/Apache24/logs/error.log"

PidFile: "C:/Apache24/logs/httpd.pid"
Define: DUMP_VHOSTS
Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG
Define: SRVROOT=c:/Apache24

James Blond, forgive me, but what does this message mean?
Still can't run Apache server. Confused

It might be that a port is blocked by another program

run cmd.exe as adminstrator and

Code:

netstat -ano | findstr /R 0.0:80 && netstat -ano | findstr /R 0.0:443

Hi James Blond,

I uninstall and re-install Apache successfully!
I tried the default config and typed localhost in my browser and I see the it works! page. But, whenever I changed the httpd.conf file to my setup, I got an error message and unable to start Apache. I never had this problem before, but now I'm having trouble starting Apache. Here's the message:

In httpd.conf add

Code:

ServerName localhost


Also DocumentRoot does not seem to be a valid directory. Note that you can't have that on a network shared drive.

I'm using Wampserver 3.2.0 with Apache 2.4.41 and, if I start the server with a VirtualHost on a Network drive such as this one
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName photos-famille
   DocumentRoot "//DS218/home/sites/photos-ottello"
  <Directory "//DS218/home/sites/photos-ottello/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Require local
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Apache doesn't start. There is the error mentioned above.

I searched and tried a lot of "tricks" and I found that by replacing the wampapache64 service login account (by default LocalSystem) by an "admin" login account, there was no more problem.
Code:

E:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.41\bin>httpd -S
VirtualHost configuration:
....
         port 80 namevhost photos-famille (E:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.41/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:120)
....

Changing the service account can be done by :
(Warning, titles and items are translated from my French version of Windows, it may not be exactly the same words for a "real" English version)
- Service manager
- Double-Click on the service name to get the properties window
- Connexion tab
- Uncheck Local account to check This account
- Browse
- Advanced
- Search
- Double-Click on the account name you want to use
- OK
- Enter two times the password associated with this account
- Apply then OK on the popup
- OK
Stop and restart the service.

Any user, except the default service user can access network drives. Do not use an admin account, but a normal user.
