Today I helped my friend to install XAMPP on a Debian system. When I tried to start the Apache webserver, I got the following message:<\/p>\n

\r\n#\/opt\/lampp\/lampp startapache\r\nXAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...\r\nXAMPP: Error 1! Couldn't start Apache!\r\nXAMPP: Starting diagnose...\r\nXAMPP: Sorry, I've no idea what's going wrong.\r\nXAMPP: Please contact our forum http:\/\/www.apachefriends.org\/f\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
This problem is likely related to your Apache configuration file. To drill down to the root of the problem, we can take a look to the Apache error log:<\/p>\n
\r\ntail \/opt\/lampp\/log\/error_log\r\n<\/pre>\n
and it should give you some info on how to solve this computer problem.<\/p>\n
