Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi, It's the first time I try to use XAMPP on a Vista computer and experience the famous Apache stops after 2 seconds problem. Did try all the steps to solve the problem: Port-Check says that port 80, 81 and 443 are free, also changed the ports (only to give it a try ) and I don't have IIS enabled,
looked for the php config in the bin, shut down my virus scanner and firewall ( XAMPP and the virus-scanner/firewall Norman! work perfectly together on a Windows7 64 machine). I don´t have Skype. Here is a copy of the Apache error log:

translation of the first 2 lines: tried to excess a socket in a way that is not permitted
(OS 10013)Er is geprobeerd toegang te verkrijgen tot een socket op een volgens de toegangsmachtigingen niet toegestane manier. : make_sock: unable to listen for connections on address [::]:80

Hope someone can make something out of this! Thanks in advance!

Looks like you have IPv6 enabled. Disable it and ensure you have IPv4 enabled.

Are you sure? I never encountered a problem with ipv6 on my Windows7 64 computer and Apache . Did try it, but it doesn't change anything!
