Magento Open Source eCommerce logoVery frustrating! With XAMPP Lite 1.6.8 on Windows XP SP3, I could get Magento 1.2.0.1 to work but Apache would crash randomly every 3-5 minutes triggered by new page loads or refreshes. Upgrading to Magento 1.2.0.2 and then 1.2.1 didn’t help. Upgrading to XAMPP Lite 1.7.0 made it worse because Apache would crash on every page load, finally making it impossible to work with. That’s when I realized these types of problems were known issues between Magento and XAMPP.
