Hi,
I have read thru some threads regarding the problem I'm facing and still unable to resolve.
After installing the latest version of xampp, I am able to start Apache on my W2000 server. However, the next day Apache was stopped and I cannot restart Apache again using the XAMPP control panel..it says "BUSY....DONE".
Went thru the error.log and could not see anything that might cause the problem....but again I am not competent enough to understand most of it. Below is the log file:

I've also tried the command apache -t and it return "Syntax OK".
One more question, is there anyway to change to Apache to launch as a Windows service form the XAMPP control panel??
I'm lost to what to try next..... Please can anybody help??
Thanks.
