xampp apache does not work

[coolsiva]

I installed xampp and tried to run the start command - sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start -- it starts mysql and ProFTPD. However,it is not starting apache. The error_log in /opt/lampp/logs - shows the following:

RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)
RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) 'localhost' does not match server name!?

I looked at the httpd.conf file - and I see the
ServerName localhost

and also my /etc/hosts has this entry

127.0.0.1 localhost

Can any one let me know what is the problem? This is for 64bit intel platform and I installed ia-32 binaries to get xampp to work.
