Hi all
I have read your advice to other members regarding this topic but they do not seem to resolve my problem.
The Problem;-
On clicking the start button in xampp control panel I see meaasge Apache Started [Port 80] but start button does not change to stop and the text "running" is flashed once the goes off. When I press the start button again the message "busy" Apache Started [Port 80] is seen.
From your advice I ran the xampp-portcheck and the status for all ports was free.
I have ran the apache_start batch file and the message was:-
apche2 is starting....
<OS 10013>An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
: make_sock: unable to listen for connections on address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
unable to open logs
below is the section from my apache config file that deals with listening ports. should I change this and what to ?
ServerRoot "E:/xampp/apache"
#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
Thank you for help
