XAMPP Unknown Error Occured after editing php.ini file

Question

I've been using the same XAMPP apache installation for a long time with no issue.

Today I edited the php.ini file in order to try and resolve an issue in my application with file upload limit size and after saving the changes in the php.ini my apache server stopped working. I restered XAMPP and it now says:

Unknown Error Occured in Application

I've tried reinstating the original state of the php.ini file with no success and I've restarted my machine also with no success.

Answer 1

I resolved this by simply uninstalling and reinstalling xampp.

It seems that editing the php.ini with apache running was the cause of the issue.
