Can I install Apache on my local computer?

Question

I have installed apache 2.2 on my computer but when I open it it send me an error :could not to address 0.0.0.0:80
then I went to httpd conf file and change the line : Listen :80 to Listen localhost:80 , but up to now I have the same problem that writes : could not bind to address 127.0.0.1:80 what I must do to start apache 2.2 on my computer?

Answer 1

Hi, make sure you don't have anything running on port 80. Services such as skype binded port 80 automatically.



To see if your port 80 is not binded, goto command prompt and type netstat -an

See if your 0.0.0.0:80 is binded.



That error says something is already running on port 80.





*NOTE: to the answerers below... the recommendations you have told do not solve this problem. Since those program bundles use Apache, hence same error. And thats not the way to fix that problem.

Answer 2

Do what the first answerer said.



In addition, if you're running a personal firewall, it may be preventing you from sending packets from port 80. I'm not sure if this would cause the error you were talking about, but it would be worth checking into.
