Topic: Apache not starting up on Windows XP.

[Snakum]

I am trying to get Php up and running and when it didn't run on IIS I thought I'd try Apache. I downloaded and installed using the MSI Windows installer and all seemed well. However, when i tried to start the service I get an error. When I check the error logs here are the four associated error events in Windows:

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.0.10 for ServerName .

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10048)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

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> no listening sockets available, shutting down

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> Unable to open logs .


I tell ya, this is driving me nuts. I've installed three server packaages with Apache, Php, and MySQL together (Foxserv, etc.) and I've never got a single one to run. Had to uninstall all of them and try the servers one at a time. now that isn't working. I've searched all over the net and am coming up with no answers.

Thanks for any help at all.

I just found an answer for the first error and fixed it by uncommenting the servername localhost line in the config file.

The last three errors remain, however.
