Apache not running? Try quitting Skype.
Just set up an xampp test environment on my laptop, but couldn't get Apache to run.
After spending a little while trying to read the posts to the Apache Friends forum - while seem to all be in German - it became clear that the only way to get more information would be to start Apache from the command prompt to see whatever error message popped up.
To do this, I went to c:/xampp and opened apache_start.bat. Sure enough, there was an error message:
Only one usage of each socket (protocol/network address/post) is normally permitted: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.80. no listening sockets available, shutting down.
A little more surfing in German led me to a reference to Skype.
Quitting Skype solved the problem.
