How can I find out why my Apache webserver crashes?

Sorry about my first post. Here is what I am doing:

I am running xampp on windows xp. I was working on this tutorial and when i got to page 13 of the pdf version it crashed. I cant see anything weird in my error.log nor in my access log.

When i go to my localhost on my machine it straight away crashes.

Any Idea's?

This is what windows adds to the fault report:

AppName: apache.exe AppVer: 2.2.11.0 ModName: php_pdo_mysql.dll ModVer: 5.2.8.8 Offset: 0000250a

You have to be more specific if you want you question to remain opened. With this information one could only say look in the logs. – Alberto Zaccagni Oct 8 '09 at 10:56

What platform? What type of crash? Does it start, but not work as expected or does it not start at all? You need to be a bit more specific if you would like to get helped. – quosoo Oct 8 '09 at 10:58
Going to need a lot more information to be able to help you out on this: what platform are you running on, what version of apache, what extensions are you running? When you say "Apache crashes" - do you mean the entire httpd process terminates, or a website apache is hosting fails to load? – iAn Oct 8 '09 at 10:59

Look in the logs?

You can find it, dependant on your configuration, at

/var/log/apache2/....log-files

+1 for "Look in the logs?" - the location an even the log file name may vary. – quosoo Oct 8 '09 at 10:56
Running on XP it won't be /... anything. C:\whereever you unpacked xampp\ – Alex Nov 2 '09 at 17:45
