Hello,
I could use some help. I have read and tried many of the suggestions posted in other topics to no avail. I am using Windows Vista Home Edition. I am not able to get the Apache service to run. The error in the log is:
(OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
So I ran netstat -0 I do not see anything for port 80. When I do the port check in the Xampp control panal I get the list below.
it shows the Status of port 80 as SYSTEM. does this mean some other service is already using 80? how can I figure out what it is? do I need to have port 80 open in my firewall porgram? I tried it both on and off and it didn't make a difference.
