title: Apache shutdown unexpectedly after documentroot change in httpd.conf
body: <p>I'm currently following <a href="http://www.pmkelly.com/2012/07/sync-xampp-dropbox/">this toturial</a> to try to get use a folder in dropbox as my htdocs folder. When I change these lines: </p>
  
  <pre><code>DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
  &lt;Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to </p>
  
  <pre><code>DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Håvard/Dropbox/web"
  &lt;Directory "C:/Users/Håvard/Dropbox/web"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>19:39:52  [Apache]  Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
  19:39:52  [Apache]  This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
  19:39:52  [Apache]  improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
  19:39:52  [Apache]  Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
  19:39:52  [Apache]  the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
  19:39:52  [Apache]  If you need more help, copy and post this
  19:39:52  [Apache]  entire log window on the forums
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have gotten this error before due to Skype using the same ports, but this time that's not the case. I do believe it has something to do with the letter "å" in my "Håvard"-username... I've tried changing the path to something without my username and this works.. </p>
  
  <p>Does someone know if the letter has anything to do with the shutdown, and if: are there any solution  to it? </p>
