I just came across a little problem with my XAMPP installation. After reorganising some local virtual webservers in my %SYSTEM%/drivers/etc/host and %APACHE%/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I could not restart my apache through the XAMPP Control Panel it just kept crashing with the error
Fehlgeschlagene Anwendung apache.exe, Version 2.2.4.0, fehlgeschlagenes Modul msvcr71.dll, Version 7.10.3052.4, Fehleradresse 0x000017fb.
I restarted my machine but no change. I checked out the changes I had made to the httpd.conf file an realized I had not only used blanks in my webserver path -which worked fine so far, if quoted-, but also “umlaut” or mutated vowels. After changing these to the international circumscription, everything worked fine and I was able to restart my apache.
