I installed XAMPP on a SuSe 9 Ent Server and when I try to start by
issuing "lampp start" I see the follwoing message trace,

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.4.13....
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)....

After this it just sits there and there is no activity and none in the log
files either. Any clue on whats happening? Anyone experienced this before?

    An another insight into the problem. After starting lammp, I did a ps -ef | grep httpd and found a process. When I tried to kill this process I got the following messages,

    XAMPP: Sorry, I've no idea what's going wrong.

    Looks like Apache for some reason is not starting up. Any insights?
