WampServer

Hi
I have installed WAMP on a server at work to run Dadabik
[dadabik.com]
The server keeps on shutting down. I have minimal expertise with web servers so don't really understand the error log but there appear to be two error messages that could account for this.

AH00422: Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.
AH01630: client denied by server configuration:

I've done a bit of googling and it appears that:

AH00422: "This error almost always occurs when another user shuts down a multi-user server".
How do I confirm this? What should I be asking my system administrator to check?


AH01630: This seems to be something to do with access control but I'm reluctant to change anything in httpd:conf as it could mess my system up.

It is a completely fresh installation of WAMP

Extracts from the apache error log below.

Hi,

Wampserver must be launched in an administrator session and you are not an administrator.
