fatal error on starting xampp

I was starting the server when I randomly got the following error message:
/opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.5.5a...
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
XAMPP: Error 1! Couldn't start Apache!
XAMPP: Starting diagnose...
XAMPP: Sorry, I've no idea what's going wrong.
XAMPP: Please contact our forum http://community.apachefriends.org/f/
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...
XAMPP for Linux started.


First time, I just ignored it, and restarted it, but it happens again, so I follow instructions. And come here... I am lead to believe that this would serve the most useful purpose of attaining a solution to the erring xampp installation, which had worked perfectly for several weeks before this incident, with no apparent issues, until this "Error 1!" appears. Would anyone who posseses such useful information be agreeable to sharing it with myself?

my thanks
