I'm setting up a SSL certificate in WAMP 2.5 and Apache 2.4.9. As I un comment
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf in http.conf, Wamp not starting. Here is my ssl confg file and httpd.conf. Please have a look and help.

For CA certificates you define Path instead of File
SSLCACertificatePath "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/conf/key/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt"
should be
SSLCACertificateFile "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/conf/key/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt"

Have you made any configuration changes? Does just rebooting the system is causing the issue? The error log does not showing any error.Can you enable the 'debug' level logging and try to restart your httpd service? and share the logs.
From the logs it seems you apache was started but immediately after few seconds it's shutdown.So,something is causing this shutdown.Have you configured any cron job for such service?

Turns out SSLSessionCache was causing the issue
I had to go into /etc/httpd/conf.d ssl.conf
and comment out
#SSLSessionCache shmcb:/run/httpd/sslcache(512000)
I am trying to simply set up a virtual host which ive done a million times. however right now im getting the following error:
10:01:11 [Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
10:01:11 [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
10:01:11 [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
10:01:11 [Apache] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
10:01:11 [Apache] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
10:01:11 [Apache] If you need more help, copy and post this
10:01:11 [Apache] entire log window on the forums
my hosts file looks like this:
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 system.local
And my httpd-vhosts file looks like this:
<VirtualHost system.local>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\system"
ServerName system.local
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\system">
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Can anyone tell me why im getting this error?

For some reason my XAMPP Apache service keeps restarting. It started yesterday, but I can't really find the cause, because I have made many changes to my PC the day before (windows update, antivirus update, installed new programs, etc).
The XAMPP control panel says that it's running, but when I look at the processes in the windows task manager, I can see that it keeps restarting every second and the windows error reporting process keeps appearing too (without any dialog).
For some reason I can access the xampp first page (localhost or localhost/xampp), but nothing else (no phpmyadmin or anything else I put in htdocs). I have tried to reinstall XAMPP, and it's not the skype issue everyone knows about either. I have windows 8 pro.
The apache error.log keep repeating this:

My best guess is that I've got some kind of spyware with the apps I've installed.
Thank you very much for reading and any thoughts are welcome.
PROBLEM SOLVED:
NVIDIA FirstPacket was blocking it. I've disabled it and it worked like a charm.
I updated xampp from 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 and things didn't work out afterwards. I googled my problems, tried to change stuff and got more problems in the end.
I don't know what to do with the output in the error.log:

rename .htaccess to htaccess - Either the Problem lies in there or there is some other server configuration issue.
