Topic: Need help to bind apache to ip

[hcore8]

Hello everyone!
I tried searching a solution to my problem but I didn't find any up to now and really need help.

When I edit the httpd.conf file and try to do
this:
Listen 192.168.1.10:80

I get an error after trying to restart the apache service saying: "The requested operation has failed!"

although when I edit the file and put this it works:
Listen 80

I need help to bind the server to specific IP addresses
please if anyone knows how to fix this

Please try on the command line httpd -t.
Also what is in your error log about that?

[hcore8]

ok, what exactly does the httpd -t do?

here is what's written in my error log:
[Fri Mar 23 14:47:05 2012] [notice] Child 5000: Exit event signaled. Child process is ending.
httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.3 for ServerName
(OS 10049)The requested address is not valid in its context. : make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.1.10:80

it seems that a program is already listening on port 80. To see which one it is you can use the small program http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40218896/setups/xampp-portcheck.exe
