XAMPP Apache fails to start
After a power outage, when I rebooted, my XAMPP Mysql was corrupted. After trying to fix this manually, I gave up and uninstalled / reinstalled XAMPP with a fresh download of the latest version.
After downloading, I ran the install as administrator and all appeared fine, until I tried to start Apache from the control panel.
I have attached the error log. I suspect this may be related to file permissions, but I don't know which ones. I am the only user of this Windows 10 PC.
Thanks for your help.

error.log
All messages in your error.log file are just warnings.
They relate to the default Apache config which uses example.com as a default domain.
Follow Dr. Klahn's suggestion as a likely way to suppress these warnings, or just ignore them.

Thanks both for responding.
Dr Klahn, SSL certificate? This is my local machine install, 127.0.0.1
If they are just warnings there must be something else preventing Apache startup.
Aaand....would you believe it, I just started it again to get more logs, and it works.
Have a good weekend!

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
At site www.example.com, on the SSL port 443, no valid SSL certificate was found. Apache started, but it will not respond to requests on the SSL port. Check the SSL certificate for damage (if you are using LetsEncrypt certificates, request a new one) and try again.
If the SSL certificate is corrupted in addition to the database, it would appear that the file corruption is widespread. In this case I would reload the entire system from the daily or weekly full backup.
