hi everybody

I'm having problems with xampp server and mainly Apache which doesn't start anymore! However it was running fine but suddenly it refused to start!
Looking at the windows event viewer I got this error:
"the Apache service reported the following error: >>><Directory> directive requires additional argugments"
Here is my config file of Apache at the Directory section:

<Directory>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>


Is something wrong ou missing?
Thanks for helping me!

Cheers!!! Cool

Hi
Finally my problem is solved by adding simply a path to directory as this:

<Directory "/xampp/htdocs">

I am glad and thanks for you help!

Apache is running perfectly!

Cheers folks!
