Hey guys, i downloaded xampp-win32-1.7.3 and tried to install on my laptop running in microsoft windows vista. I have switched off my skype. Even i have stopped my IIS server. But the problem is whenever i click the start button for apache in xampp control panel, it shows Running with the green backgroud for few second and my apache server stops, and the running label goes away. I cannot access my localhost as well. Please help me out. Thanks in Advance.
A:
Check your Apache configuration, there may be an error in there.
Open the terminal, and run C:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe -t to see whether the configuration is sane.
Alternatively, an Apache extension such as PHP may cause the server to crash.
You can take a look at the end of your Apache log (C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log) to see what the possible cause is.
