Socket Address Error

Socket Error

[nbeekman]

Hello, I am trying to install apache 2.2.4 on my Windows XP to test php and mysql, but i keep getting this error and it wont start. Does anyone know how to correct?

<OS 10048) Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : Make_sock: con not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down

Thanks

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, nbeekman.

Are you running another HTTP server such as IIS on your machine which is already listening on port 80?

[nbeekman]

Not that I can see. It doesn't show up in Add/Remove Programs. I do have Microsoft Expression Web loaded. Could that cause it?

Look for it in the "Services" list, and set it to "manual" if it's there.
They ship it enabled; If you did not turn it off, then it is probably on.

Ok, Thanks, the Expression Web was the application causing the port error. Apparently it takes control and listens on Port 80. Once I removed it, Apache came right up.

Thanks All
