Apache installation on Windows 7

Question

I am newbie with Apache. I am learning .. after the installation when i try to start the service I am see the following errors.

The Apache service named reported the following error:

Unable to open logs .

The Apache service named reported the following error:

no listening sockets available, shutting down .

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 .

The Apache service named reported the following error: >>> httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.6 for ServerName .

Answer 1

The following error usually means that some other program is listening on the HTTP port (80).

(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 .

In my experience, IM (chat) clients like to connect to port 80.

From a command prompt, (cmd.exe) run the command:

netstat -an

See if there is a listener on port 80 (Look for a line that says:

   TCP    0.0.0.0:80           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
   ===           ====

the important thing being TCP and 80. If you find something, you'll need to track it down using something like TcpView

Answer 2

modifying C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd sloved the problem.

If you had installation problems, note that you might experience some errors such “ no services installed ” if Apache is trying to share port 80 with another web server or application, such as a locally installed firewall application. To fix this, you can tell Apache to use a different port. Open your httpd.conf file in the conf subdirectory ( C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf by default) and locate the following lines:

# 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
Change the last line of this block to read:
Listen 8080
