Topic: Getting an error when starting Apache

[Jack O'Lantern 270]

I am using Xampp v3.2.4 with Apache (ver. 2.4) and when loading it I get the following error in the error.log:

[Wed Dec 09 13:02:21.234327 2020] [core:warn] [pid 8008:tid 672] AH00098: pid file C:/xampp/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?
[Wed Dec 09 13:02:21.249949 2020] [ssl:warn] [pid 8008:tid 672] AH01909: www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
PHP Warning: 'vcruntime140.dll' 14.0 is not compatible with this PHP build linked with 14.16 in Unknown on line 0
[Wed Dec 09 13:02:21.249949 2020] [:emerg] [pid 8008:tid 672] AH00020: Configuration Failed, exiting

I guess the first line is because I tried a few times to start Apache but I don't know what to do.

Here is also what Xampp says me when launching Apache:

13:02:20 [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...
