title: XAMPP causing 'The connection was reset' error in Firefox
body: <p>I'm experiencing problems when running a specific PHP file; in the latest Firefox it keeps giving the error 'The connection was reset' (I've tried running the PHP file in a different browser - the latest Internet Explorer but get the same problem).</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried completely uninstalling both XAMPP and Firefox (default browser) - then reinstalling them.</p>
  
  <p>I have even tried clearing the cache in Firefox and also ran CCleaner.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure what is causing this problem as when I run the exact PHP file on another machine (on Windows 7 - with XAMPP &amp; latest Firefox) it works perfectly fine and it is not like the PHP file is fairly complex/resource intensive (it does not even call/use MySQL!)? :S</p>
  
  <p>I have tried integrating some debug/error reporting code within the PHP file - but that does not produce/do anything, but I've noticed whenever the PHP file is ran; apache does create/update an 'error.log' file within the 'XAMPP/apache/logs' folder with the following errors:</p>

  <p>PS-1: I noticed it is referring to SSL within the above log - I'm not using SSL?.</p>
  
  <p>PS-2: The XAMPP settings are exactly the same since the install (like I have not modified/updated php.ini or have added anything that does within the .htaccess file).</p>
  
  <p><strong>OS:</strong> Windows 8 (64 bit)</p>
  
  <p><strong>XAMPP:</strong> 1.8.1 (installed relatively to user 'Admin' => 'C:/Users/Admin/XAMPP')</p>
  
  <p><strong>Browsers:</strong> Latest - Firefox (default) and Internet Explorer, both have NO third-party extensions/add-ons installed/enabled</p>
  
  <p><strong>Security programs:</strong> Avira Free Antivirus, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (PRO) and KeyScrambler (Personal)</p>
