Been having a problem with XAMPP lately. Whenever I try to start up Apache, it starts then stops and displays the following error message:

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file
and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

When I check the error.log file, the log is mostly filled with the following errors:

[Sun Dec 02 23:32:10 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/HNAP1
[Sun Dec 02 23:32:10 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] no acceptable variant: C:/xampp/apache/error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var
[Sun Dec 02 23:32:13 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/TEADevInfo
[Sun Dec 02 23:32:16 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] client denied by server configuration: C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/

(I'm using XAMPP 1.8.1, with control panel v3.1.0.3.1.0)

This has really had me scratching my head for quite some time now. Any help would be appreciated!

Are you using SSL? Have you tried to Fix this error by updating the configuration to force close the SSL service?

If you edit the file httpd.conf at /xampp/Apache/conf and comment out the line:
#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

Try to Start Apache again and see if it worked.

The source of this issue can occasionally be another service listening on port 443.

Hope that helps!
