Installing Apache2 and Running it
It's been a while, I've tried to create php pages...with mysql and apache 2.0
but when I try to install this i get an error called
Well.. I actually installed it through the wizard.. and when they told me to put
the server name and all those
I put
localhost
localhost
admin@localhost
I'm using wireless internet service and there were things written on there already
but the guide says erase all that and replaces with those things that I wrote above.
Now when I try to run it, it does not work...
Whenever I start, I get an error like
"No installed service named "Apache2"
so someone told me to manually install;
I went to the apache folder and type
apache.exe -k install -n "Apache2"
and ran it and now i get error like
"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"
So... what should i do to make this work?
Help needed desperately. Please help!

This error message means that some other application, probably the Apache Server from your first installtion is listening to the 80 (default web) port.
What you would do is open to open a browser window and type this in the address bar:
http://localhost
If you get the initial page from the Apache it means that your Apache server is already running. Then go find the configuration files and change the name of your server.
Then go to the documentation section of Apache Website here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/
Select the appropriate version and pick a doc file to see what are your configuration options and where to find the necessary configuration files on your system.

well... I have not started any apache... after supposedly "finished" installation (because installation wizard has been completed) when I try to run apache I get error like "No installed service named "Apache2"
Which, it seems to me, that no apache has been installed.
That's why I'm trying to install apache and it is not working

When I try localhost I only get blank page...
It seems that there's an incomplete installation and may be it is because you have some service already installed that is listening the port 80.
What platform are you using?

It looks like you are using a bundle LAMP on Windows. Which one did you try?
You can you xampp on Windows and follow the official well-documented to make it yourself in 5 minutes.
But before that, you should check whether you Windows installed with IIS or not. If IIS was installed before, disable it or change the port for default installation web page of IIS

I'm using Windows and I'll look into IIS and get back to you guys on that.
Thanks !

Thanks a lot problem solved instantly.
I didn't know Skype uses that port as default. Does that mean I can't use Skype anymore or would it find another port automatically?

Thanks please answer to my last questions ^.^a;
The "No installed service named "Apache2" error indicates that Apache is not installed as a service. That does not necessarily mean it is not running as a program. A service is something that runs separate from your user session meaning that even if you log out it will keep running. Programs stop when you log out. Apache can run either as a program or as a server on Windows.
Since you are getting a blank page on your local machine and not an error message that indicates that something is running and serving that blank page to you. Press Control+Alt+delete and go to Task Manager then look in your processes for apache.exe. If it is there then it is running, just not as a service based on the errors you are receiving. Rebooting may also solve this problem for you if you have not set Apache to load on startup.

I know it is windows but a client windows (such as 2K WS, XP, Vista, 7) or server windows (2K, 2k3, 2k8)
Because as you've told you might have IIS installed. If this is the case you need to shutdown (stop) the IIS service during the installation. Because older versions of IIS has a strange behaviour in that it still binds to port 80. Furthermore it refuses to start even if it is bind to a port other than 80 and 80 is already binded by another process/application.

You can change the listen port in Skype as below:
1.Goto Option -> Advanced -> Connection
2. In the Use port [ ] for incoming connections besure it isn't 80 or be sure the check box Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections was not checked. Hope this help.

Yup Skype is bind to 80 :) and thetmanvn is the fastest responding expert in the west :)
This PID trick always finds the culprit ;-) so you can save this response for later reference :))

If you are using this for development purposes only you may want to look at XAMPP. It is a point and click setup of Apache2, PHP, MySQL and a whole bunch of other common web development programs. You will still have to kill whatever process is currently running on Port 80 before installing it though.
