[ProVitaminC]

Hi,
I use Windows 7, running Apache VC10 in the XAMPP environment. It worked well, I am a newbie, it runned smoothly to programe a brief static page. Now I have everytime this logerror... And I have no idea about it's meaning..
I didn't change anything in the files and scripts of my apache folder...
thanks for your help, perhaps it's easy and I am dumb.

I see nothing here that would be reason for it to not start as the title of this thread states.

You can get rid or the cert error by just turning off https in httpd.conf, usually commenting (#) out the LoadModule line for mod_ssl and commenting out the Include line to httpd-ssl.conf way down near the bottom should do it.

You may also want to have a look in Windows Event Log ... if the server is not starting, it might be able to tell you why.
