Mysql and Apache do not start

[Tonk]

Both Mysql and Apache do not start.
I succesfully installed xampp 1.7.1 But if I click on Start I get a green sign Running for 5 secs. It then disappears.
After that there is only Start.
The same goes for Mysql and Apache.
In the box it says: Busy.... Apache started [port 80] (same for Mysql)

I have searched this forum for a day, but can not find any fitting answer.

What have I done sofar:
* Did a portcheck with result: All ports are "free"
* Windows firewall = off
* Setup_xampp.bat gives "Nothing to do"
* Serveral uninstalles and many clean-ups....
* No other servers in use.

Maybe this helps:
from teh Apache Error log:
[alert] (OS 11001)Host unknown. : mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "DELL_?ON"
Configuration Failed

I am desperate to find the solution and get it to work.....

Hi, I don't know if I can help...but I will try...as I just installed last evening on Win2K Server edition.

1> You do not say what version of Windows?

2> Are you running under a user, without full permissions? (use admin privs)

3> Have you rebooted?

Sorry, my mind reading skills....aren't working right now... LOL

When ever you have this type of problem try and start Apache using the apache_start.bat file as it will give you a message why it can't start, also mysql_start.bat file will also give you the reason for it not wanting to start.
Paste the message here by using the Edit menu found after you click on the little icon top left of the console window.

from teh Apache Error log:
[alert] (OS 11001)Host unknown. : mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "DELL_?ON"
Configuration Failed

The reference to IPv4 may mean that the Windows Hosts file needs some attention.

Go to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts file and open it in your text editor (in Vista right click on the Notepad link and select to run as administrator which will eliminate an error when trying to save the Hosts file).

Find this line:
::1 localhost

Comment it out so it looks like this:
# ::1 localhost

Make sure that you now have these 2 lines at the beginning of the uncommented section of your Hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

Save the file and then try and start Apache and MySQL again.

When asking for support please include your OS as different Windows versions may have different techniques for effecting remedies.
Thanks.

First of all thank you very much for the help offered!

My OS is windows XP SP3
I am loged in as main user, I have all the rights.
I have rebooted several times.

Hosts-file
I checked this and it is as it should be with
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

apache_start.bat
Returnes: Apache could not be started....Press any key to continue...

mysql_start.bat
Returnes some more information. This is what I copied out of the mysql_error.log:

Hope this helpes in finding a solution!
Thanks!

There is a problem with your computername.

[Tonk]

Where do i look for a solution?
In Windows, or in Xampp?

[Wiedmann]

Change your computername (in Windows), to something without special characters.
(Best is, just use the rules that are defined for dns host names.)

[Tonk]

Indeed! Changing the computer name solved my problem!
To Everybody: thank you very much!
