Top posting from my cell... 1. Format hard drive 2. Install redhat fc8 or Ubuntu 8.04 3. Load the new MySQL installation with your backup file If you really have to stay with windoze, remove and re-install apache. Look at the system log files as they SHOULD tell you what was causing the crash. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan S <genphp@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 6:26 PM To: php php <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Xampp question, pretty much 0T Hello! I have been using XAMPP for quite some time now (thanks to the recommendations from this list) without any real complaints... and the only reason I am writing here is because i am sure a lot of you guys run the same thing considering the amount of people who recommended it to me when I asked for an easy install of AMP. It was easy to install and has given me months of hassle free use... but today i have started facing some strange problems of everytime I start Apache.. it crashes my laptop, anybody else run into this? I use this only for PHP, no perl. My config: Win Vista home premium with all updates and patches (genuine, not pirate copy) core2 duo 2ghz 2 gigs ram Nothing installed today for it to be acting up so. Do you suggest I reinstall? or can I just reinstall Apache in some way? If i have to reinstall is there an easy way of backing up my stuff and then reinstalling then putting my stuff back? (I know i can just copy the files that were in the htdocs... but am talking about an easy way to copy the files and the DBs and put them back... or is that just wishful thinking?
