Apache does not start

[juliani]

I just downloaded the xampp1.4.13 for windows, installed it on a win2000
and everything seem to work well...except apache. I can't launch it neither from the xampp control panel, nor from the batch. It just start and stop.

I also have an error message when I try to install as a service with the batch...

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Open prompt window(DOS) and type the below to check the reason;

Code: Select all

D:/xampp/apache/bin>apache -t
