I'm using XAMPP v1.7 on an Win XP-64 bit machine, my Symantec AV is turned off as is my Windows Firewall, and I can't connect to localhost from a browser.

I originally had these errors:
[Wed Jan 07 16:24:55 2009] [error] (OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Child 2716: Encountered too many errors accepting client connections. Possible causes: dynamic address renewal, or incompatible VPN or firewall software. Try using the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive

These errors went away after I added the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive to httpd.conf, but the net result remains the same: no joy.

Now, I get these errors:

And, apache seems to be crashing (Windows tells me so, and I can see the crash in the system events.)

I'm a n00b to apache, but need to get this running. Ideas? Marcus

If anyone comes across this, try running

netsh winsock RESET

from the command line. It worked for me.
