I have XAMPP Lite installed. Apache starts well from the control panel after a clean install, however, when I append the following information to the bottom of the above mentioned file, Apache does not show "running" upon clicking "Start" in the control panel:

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
  DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/
  ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost example.local>
  DocumentRoot "C:\path\to\your\site"
  ServerName example.local

  CustomLog "C:\path\to\your\site\logs\example.local.access.log" combined
  ErrorLog "C:\path\to\your\site\logs\example.local.error.log"

  <Directory "C:\path\to\your\site">
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride All
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I have modified the second bloc of code to point to my website and I have been using it under XP, I face this problem only under Vista.

This has nothing to do with PHP : Moved to Web Hosting

Is Apache running as a service? start -> run -> services.msc

Here.

When I click Start in front of Apache, the given output appears, but Apache does not show Running.

This problem came up when I modified the above mentioned file to append the given code (that is needed to configure my site).

Hey guys, anyone?

[X@MPP]

that happens to me a lot if im running Skype or something that trys to auto connect to the internet, what you can do is Re-install Xampp and then on a fresh install have nothing but XAMPP and Apache running, if it stops,than its a service/and or process that is running .

I changed the file back to default, and now Apache is starting all right. When I add the block of code, the problem appears again. Could anyone optimize that code apropos this site:

autocrat.local
E:\autocrat.web\

Maybe I did not modify this file correctly: C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhost.conf

It's my understanding that the vhost is going to need access & error logs of it's own. Check your apache logs, it should say EXACTLY why it won't start.

You should have mentioned this before!
I was just missing a logs folder in my site folder. Thanks a lot.
