Does someone know how to resolve this error message?

Background: Windows xp, want to set up a localhost testing environment. Using David Powers "PHP for Dreamweaver 8 and these instructions from apache.org >>

What I get? ERROR The requested operation has failed!


What is a listening socket? Where do I configure it?

Open httpd.conf and edit the "ServerName" directive. It should read, "ServerName localhost" Make sure the "Listen" directive is set to "Listen *:80". If this machine has more than one NIC, then you will want to use the ip address you want apache to listen on rather than *. Make sure nothing else is running on port 80. Sometimes it is another webserver or a p2p program for sharing files over the internet. You might also check that another instance of apache isn't running. This can happen when you install apache as a service. If you don't have a monitor installed, you won't know it's running and you will get the error saying it can't bind to that socket.

use netstat -an while your apache is down to see if something is listening on port 80.

can anyone help how to over come this error?

thanking you.

A fully qualified domain name would be something like mydomain.com. If you do not own a domain name, you will need to set apache up to use localhost as the domain name. As I stated earlier, edit the "ServerName" line so that it reads "ServerName localhost". Any time you edit this file, you need to restart apache.
