Hi there. I am using Windows XP Pro x64 with Servicepack 2. As I've used XAMPP ever since for webdeveloping I did it again after I installed Win XP x64, but this time I'm encountering severe problems. As no one seems to be able to help me at the XAMPP forums I downloaded the Apache v2.2.4 and "fortunately" got exactly the same problem, which means that this is the a right place to ask for support I think ^^. When I start the Apache (I downloaded the msi installer and installed it with it) a new created httpd process will go crazy and run with 25% CPU usage. I'm using a Intel Core2Quad and when I would assign only one core to that process it would make 100% usage of that core. In the meanwhile, my error log gets spammed with these entries: [Sun Sep 16 17:43:42 2007] [error] (OS 10038)Ein Vorgang bezog sich auf ein Objekt, das kein Socket ist. : Child 2752: Encountered too many errors accepting client connections. Possible causes: dynamic address renewal, or incompatible VPN or firewall software. Try using the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive. A rough translation of "Ein Vorgang bezog sich auf ein Objekt, das kein Socket ist." could be "an operation/process/activity referred to an object which isn't a socket" Note that this happens even if the firewall or antivirus software is disabled. So what I did then was to use the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive. This time I didn't have a 100% cpu usage, but opening 127.0.0.1:90 (I'm running it on port 90 to prevent other problems that might occur, like any odd software blocking port 80 or something like that) didn't show me any page either. This time I get error messages that look like this: --------------------------------------------- ...
