@Gonzalez347

First;

add port to your ServerName

< VirtualHost *:80 >
DocumentRoot C:/server/htdocs
ServerName localhost:80
< /VirtualHost >


Second Chance, give a different name to ServerName and add the ServerName to the windows hosts file, this is located in “C:windowssystem32driversetchosts”.
Open the file in Notepad and simply add;

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 urServerName


Also add to check errors;

ErrorLog ErrorLog @rel_logfiledir @/urServerName-error_log
