The requested operation has failed
httpd.conf was not tampered with. How do I set it up to work?

This is usually caused by one of two problems:
You already have something running on Port 80. It's most common that your development box has IIS installed on it, and IIS is using port 80. You can solve this issue by any of:
The Apache service is disabled. Open services.msc
and check the Apache service, make sure it's not disabled. It should be set to Manual or Automatic start-up, depending on your environment.
Check the path in services.msc
relating to Apache (default is Apache2.2
I think) to see if it matches path to your httpd.exe
.
That fixed it for me.
if apache is not starting and getting error "Requested operation failed"
go to the command prompt : services.msc search for Apache> right click and select properties. In the General tab one startup type drop down is there. Change it to Automatic and click Apply. Then Start button will get enabled.
