Hi Thank you for your comments
Using cmd i didn t find any app that is using port 80 or 443
In the Apache logs folder there isn t any log file ( I deleted all the files to have better look up).
The error message is a windows message.

The www services are not activated

The http://localhost page doesn t load.

Panos,

I know it's not the answer you're looking for but i would install Xampp and see if that starts. If it does you can import the httpd.conf you had before and see how far you get with that.

Sorry couldn't be more help,
Joy

Happy you got it fixed :) What David said is also very true. Apache is a lot easier to use on a linux system.
If you are a linux virgin xampp will be your go to.
