Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello, I uninstalled an old version of XAMPP and installed the latest version.
Now Apache will not start, I get:
Installing Apache2 as an Service
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
Now we Start Apache2
The service name is invalid.


Any help, ideas would be very welcome. I'm out of my depth.

Thanks
Lee

Hi,

I had the same problem.

I downloaded the "Active ports" software to check which program was using ports 80 and 443. I noticed that skype was using them.

I then stopped skype, then try starting apache and it worked just fine.

You dude. Working perfectly now. Thanks.
