Apache stopped working

OK, try this.

Type c:\ in your browser and then navigate to the file. What happens?

[ryonker]

It give me an index of the files and folders in that folder. Here is what I put in my browser:

C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\tce_marketing

[KallistaAEnvarou]

Did you try clicking on the index.html file then?

[ryonker]

I opens my index.html correctly.

[KallistaAEnvarou]

What's the URL in your browser then?

[ryonker]

Here is the URL:

file:///C:/Program%20Files/xampp/htdocs/tce_marketing/index.html

OK, then it sounds like there's something wrong with your Root Directory settings. Try running xampp_setup.bat again and type 1 if you get the option. If it can't change anything, it'll tell you.

Also, sometimes servers don't like spaces in URL's, so installing it to c:\ instead of c:\program files might help.

I will do that now and let you know what happens as soon as I am finished.

Clearly states at the top of the page:

Vista Note: Because missing or insufficient write permissions in the c:\program files folder of the default vista installation, we recommend to use alternate folders for XAMPP e.g. c:\xampp or c:\myfolder\xampp.

OK, I reinstalled everything and set the default folder for c:xampp and then re-established my connections and everything is working fine. I do appreciate all the help and your patience with working through this with me. I will definately keep in mind that spaces are not handled very well. Again, thank you a million. I really do appreciate it.
