[Apache]Service installation issue
 

I have attempted to install the Apache web server on my Win XP Pro machine, so I can use some Perl scripts I have programmed. The documentation I read says when you install Apache for "All Users, on Port 80, as a service" that the Apache service is installed for you automatically. That didn't happen; my Apache Service Monitor says that no services have been installed.

So I entered this command to try and install the service manually, and here is what I got:

C:\Apache2\bin>apache -k install
<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 no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I saw this same message when Apache was being installed. How do I make Apache happy so it will install the service?

If you don't know, but know a good message board I could post this in, also let me know that! Thanks so much!

It is happening because IIS is running on port 80 already. In the services console, stop IIS and set its start-up type to "manual".

You are absolutely right! I stopped that service and restarted Apache...BAM! I saw the Apache doc in my browser, and my script worked perfectly. :)

THANK YOU!!!

No problem! Glad I could help. :)

I'm glad someone else had this happen to them. I first had this problem a year ago and felt like a total moron when I realized what was going on.
