Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi
The last few days I have had some problems with apache on xampp
every time i try to go to my localhost or 127.0.0.1 apache simply shuts down i have not installed
anything new on my pc i have tryed to deactive my anti virus to see if that was blocking it
i simply cant find a reason for why this is happening i've used xampp for quite a while now
but never had this problem before does anyone have a sugestion to what could have happend?

should also mentioned i've also tryed to do a complete reinstall of xampp this had no effect either.

Best regards Lars

Any clues in the C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log file?

yea there are quite a few lines here i'll just dump them to let you take a look:
