Apache Friends Support Forum

I am having Windows Vista home premium with IIS 7 Running. I tried installing Xampp on this box but Apache was not installed as service coz port 80 was occupied by IIS, so i changed the port for apache to 8080.

Now Problem is : first time it runs properly. but from next time it was not able to start the service for Apache.

Error Msg:

Apache 2 is starting ...
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Event Log :

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 .

I searched on this forum for this problem but could not find any thing ... please help me ... i need both (IIS and Apache) running on my box


Thanks

so i changed the port for apache to 8080.
could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 .

You have changed the port back to 80... ?

I just modified httpd.conf
changed
Listen 80
to
Listen 8080

and
ServerName localhost:80
to
ServerName localhost:8080

and restarted Apache ... first time it worked ..but on subsequent start it not ..

Please Help me .. its Urgent .

Change

LISTEN 8080

into

LISTEN 127.0.0.1:8080

as Apache usually listens on all IPs and all ports - so you restrict listening to your localhost port 8080.

If this still results in the same error message, you work on the wrong httpd.conf
