Hi,
I can't start Apache in Xampp on Windows 10 x64.

The error logs are these:

Can someone please help me to fix Apache in Xampp?

Seems as if you either already have another Apache running, or you already have running Apache from Xampp (you cannot start it twice).

What happens when you enter "http://localhost" into your browser?

I get to a page called: "XAMPP Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl". Apache works now, today. Problem solved.
