title: What may cause an ERR_CONNECTION_RESET error, on xampp while using session
body: <p>I have problem with xampp (Windows) where I have <code>session_start();</code> in my file but it like drops that request...</p>
  
  <p>When I try to access page with <code>localhost/folder/index.php</code> it works but when i try
  <code>external ip/folder/index.php</code> or <code>127.0.0.1/folder/index.php</code> or <code>[::1]/folder/index.php</code> it just drops connection (tried multiple browsers and chrome gives <code>ERR_CONNECTION_RESET</code>... I am clueless and I desperately need help...
  It worked when I removed <code>session_start();</code> from my file...
  When I make new file with <code>session_start();</code> it still doesn't work...</p>
  
  <p>Some error.log lines</p>
