Have just tried to start Apache from the batch file and it just sits there with
Apache 2 starting ...
but doesn't seem to get anywhere, even after 5mins.
Just restarted my laptop, fired up the XAMPP control panel it it is showing Apache running. Stopped the service, but it won't start up again (tried from Windows Services, apache_start.bat and the XAMPP control panel).
Not changed any of the files, it's a fresh default install
The log file is showing:
