    the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

    Error 1053

    This error occurs when you try to run php as a service using sc create on a Windows Server.

    You can find many options offered online like editing registry and all that.
    This is not the problem nor will it solve the problem.

    You are trying to Paas where you need to Saas!

    How to solve the problem:

    Step 1
    First of all delete the service that causes the error.

    Assuming your service is named php:
    open cmd.
    type: sc delete php

    The service is deleted as soon you close the servicemanager.

    Step 2
    browse to your apache BIN folder.
    rightclick the folder and open cmd from here.

    Now follows the magic line that will make it all work!

    Step 3
    type the following
    Code:
    httpd.exe -k install -n "name of the service" -f "c:\filepath to conf\httpd.conf"
    Start the service and have a great day!
Working...
