Running Windows XP Service Pack 2; Apache 2.2.1.12 /Win32
On boot this morning, chkdsk ran on the volume in which XAMPP is installed. It referenced an incorrect file entry that included the folder /apache. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to note the particular path and file. After booting into Windows, Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services shows Apache not running. Cannot start it from there. Cannot start it from command line httpd -k start.
My question is, how does one use the command line switch -e level? so I can see what is happening. I have tried -e crit (critical) together with -E /errlog.txt, but the latter file does not show any info on a missing file. Still, apache will not start.
More info (reason for edit). XAMPP Control Panel show MySQL is running. Could this keep Apache from running?
