Apache Service

[Darren9119]

When I was installing xampp something went wrong I guess. I installed and re-installed multiple times and Apache still won't start. I on 1.7.7 and Windows XP Professional. Apache will not run. It runs for about 5 seconds then stops. I have previously had it working several days ago. I do not have Skype or anything running to affect it. Please help.

Please take a look into your \xampp\apache\logs\error.log for more information whats going on.

best wishes,
Altrea
