are this notices normal

Hello,

I'm running a local apache webserver on w2k.

I have some problems with apache, I'm asking me if this is normal:

between 11:55 and 12:19 h was not a lot activity, so why the restart?

It looks like you have restarted the server.

BTW why it starts with 250 childs? I think you should take a look at your configuration.

Can't remember the restart :D
this is the default config for windows, where do I have to look for the childs?

Why are you running Apache on windows! clearly that's your error :)
On a serious note apache port to windows and those bundled with XAMP have been heavily modified to make them work, so it might be related to that.

hehe, I need to run a dll inside an web application,

my installation is not xamp regular install from the apache website.
