Help!! Attempting to install Apache

[khoshtip]

Hello there.
Im an analyst programmer attempting to retrain myself in preparation
for
future employment as coder.

Ive installed Apache2. This is so I can teach myself php.This is from
a
book with CD containing apache2 software included.

Ive installed the apache software the apache server wont start:

(1)I get the error message:
<OS10048> only one usage of each socket address
(protocol/networkaddress/port) is normally permitted:make sock could
not
bind to address
0.0.0.80. no listening sockets available shutting down.unable to open
logs.

(2)On reattempt to start apache server I have no error message.

(3)On attempting to access

http://localhost/

I have error message
"cannot
find server"

(4)On installation I am requested for the following information and
give the following response.Is this correct?

Network Domain: mycomputer.com
Server Name: 127.0.0.1
Admin email add
email@mycomputer.com

<

http://uk.f269.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Co...995&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b>

the 'mycomputer' is a made up name. I dont know what else to put
there.

(1)How do I rectify this?
(2)Am I inputting correct parameters? The instructions on the
training
manual are vague and incomplete.


thank you.

On what operating system are you installing Apache?


Are you sure you have no other programs listening to port 80? That's generally what the "sock could not bind to address" error means.

Im using a windows xp.

How do I check to see what other applications are using port80?

should I amend httpd.conf file port 80 references to port81?

Im totally new to apache. I just want to activate it so I can teach myself php on it.

Port 80 is pretty much used only for http traffic. If you know for sure that you don't have another web server installed or even another instance of apache, then the problem could be any P2P software you might have such as Kazaa or ther file sharing programs. These can be set to use alternate ports but I would keep apache at port 80 so you don't have to add the port to the address like,

http://localhost:8080.

Another quick question is did you install apache as a service?

try

http://www.xampp.org

if you're just heading for php...this makes the whole apache-php-mysql-installation-process obsolete, you just start it and have a complete amp on your system.
