I am new to XAMPP and just installed version 5.6.8.
I followed several guidelines on the topic Apache won't start: Configure HTTP.sys to only bind to IPv6, and checking the file 'host'.
In the file 'host' I discovered two lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
Without further consultation I did not dare to go on changing things.
Here are the log of the control panel and the errorlog of Apache:
