Apache Installation!

[chudz]

Hi I'm having problem with Apache. I am following a book on PHP, Apache, mySQL from WROX. I install it and set these settings:

DomainName = example.co.uk
ServerName = www.example.co.uk
ServerAdmin = [e-mail]
ServerPort = 80
ServerRoot = C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2

Once i had installed it there was an error i got a DOS Window popup! I am also on a router!

saying that port 80 is in use i think!

When i try to do a test "http://localhost/" it says Done in the status bar but there is know successful message, also I have downloaded this version of Apache apache_2.0.50-win32-x86-no_ss

Thank you for the help in advance!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, chudz.

What does the error.log say? Are you sure you're not running another server such as IIS? If so, then disable it and restart Apache.

[chudz]

No im not running IIS i have cheked in Services. in my Logs here C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\logs I only have the istall log no error log!

Are you trying to run it locally? If so, try setting your configuration directive as

ServerName localhost:80

[chudz]

Ok would you be able to tell me how to do that please?

[coopster]

edit it in your apache configuration file

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf

I have fixed it now but i am having trouble with mySQL i made a new thread check it out!

[coopster]

So don't keep us in suspense, what resolved your issue?

I had a program called Skype which is like a telephone it was using port 80. so i just turned it off and it worked fine!
