Apache won't start - VISTA 64-bit

Postby robertpsmith » 14. October 2009 07:40

I am new to XAMMP. Just installed on my Vista 64-bit system. Apache will not start.
Error log: (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

I have looked through some of the other posts and am wondering if I need a different version of Apache? (e.g. for 64-bit?). Any help appreciated...

Usually means you have another server running on the ports that Apache needs.

Disable IIS and or change the ports Skype uses, which are the usual culprits.

Click on the Port Check button in your XAMPP Control Panel and see if it has more info.

Thanks much -- that did the trick. Indeed, Skype was using the ports. Soon as I fixed that, Apache runs fine.
