Apache Server Noob: no listening sockets available

Check these:

• Check if port 80 is being used by any other process – “netstat -o
• Shut down IIS from the commadn line: “net stop was /y”

Shutting Skype works for me as it is using port 8080

Try to edit httpd file in conf folder and edit the following entry-change Listen port **from Listen 80 to

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080

In httpd.conf there should be an entry like "Listen 80". Sometimes default port 80 is taken by some other application (I remember that Skype used to use that port for example). Other more or less standard ports to use are 8000 and 8080, but generally you can set it to whatever you want, if you are just playing locally. More info can be obtained in the official documentation.
