Apache Friends Support Forum

I spoke too soon.

Have stopped usign the Vista firewall and moved back to Comodo and all seemed fine for a day, but now I'm unable to start Apache again

Have tried with Comodo running and with no firewall at all, but it's still not starting!

Any more ideas folks?

Hmm. Check the Vista-Firewall again (make sure it's off // It's just a issue coming by experience using Comodo on XP)
Make a Port-Check.
What does xampp say ? Error.log // are there any warnings/errors ?!
Do you run other software permanently ?

Edit: Check your Task-Manager: Is apache running ? How many times ?!

Ah cheers, found something in error.log (it's the first time I've used XAMPP so didn't know about that) and I needed to tweak my httpd-vhosts.conf file
