If you’re using xampplite and you Apache service does not start, you might want to check your error.log.
You can find it in PATH_TO_YOUR_XAMPP\xampplite\apache\logs\error.log
The common reason is, that a certain port, needed by Apache is not free.
For example it might be 443, 80, etc… In my case Port 443 was taken from my VMWare workstation.
