 * I passed all installation steps in this tutorial
 * [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/)
 * But on the last, running from my browser
 * [http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
 * I received server fatal error:
 * _Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
   for the inconvenience._
    **What is the problem?**

 * Your Apache server is somehow configured incorrectly.
 * Hard to say why without more information. Did you try looking in the error_log
