Apache Installation Error

[keithwtaylor]

I am installing Apache web server on one of the laptops from my workplace so that I can use it as a developer machine. However, on installing it, I get the following error message...

"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
no listening sockets available, shutting down"

What do I need to change or enable to get this working? During the installation process, I specify "localhost" has the Server Name, and leave Network Domain blank.

Thanks so much for your time and help, this really has got me stumped!

It's most likely that Apache is competing with the bundled IIS server for port 80. Only one server can use it at a time.

If you want to install Apache, then remove IIS using Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> Internet Information Services (uncheck it).
