XAMPP Error when starting

[markgodley]

Hey,

My xampp was working but today it doesnt want to start. I try and start up the apache but it just returns an error box.. no error just an OK button.

The mysql one starts fine... any ideas?

i have attached a screenshot of the error

Check the logs for apache

where do i see the logs?

/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/logs/

Check that you don't have apache running through OS X - System Preferences > Sharing and deselect Web Sharing

log says:

httpd: Could not open configuration file /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf: Too many levels of symbolic links

Next step would be to google that error - which turned up this. Might help.
