Apache :: Apache Installation Problem 2.0.59

nickbarling · Joined: 27 Aug 2006 Posts: 8 Location: Seattle

Hi all,

I have been trying to install Apache 2.0.59 on a Win XP Pro (SP2) PC.

I do not have IIS running but I do have Coldfusion 6.1 running on Port 8500 and I did have ColdFusion MX7 running on Port 8501 but I have uninstalled this version.

On downloading Apache 2.0.59 Win 32 Binary (MSI) all seems to go well. I run the Installer Package and complete the Install Wizard, selecting 'localhost' for the network domain and server name (as I wish to only test locally). I also select all users on 'Port 80'. I chose the typical installation and the default Apache groups folder.

As the Wizard completes I get two separate warnings:

Only one socket can be used...etc cannot bind to port 80. Make-sock could not be bound.

AND

The system could not find the file: No 'Apache2' file found.

The wizard completes and the Apache monitor icon appears in the tray but on mouse over it says 'no services installed'. On opening the services folder there is no Apache Sewrver visible. I cannot check error logs as they were not created.

I uninstalled Apache and manually deleted the Apache Groups folder, which did not get deleted on auto uninstall, and tried the whole process again using Port 8080 as a user option. This resulted in the same situation.

I tried installing on another machine with IIS running and ColdFusion and I got the same result.

Does anyone have any idea what I have missed or done incorrectly?

PS. I intend loading PHP and MySQL once I have Apache 2.0.59 running.

Thanks in advance.

If there are still any questions, ask again, pleace!

2.0.59 is legacy/old. Any reason why do not wnat to run Apache 2.2.x ?

What happens if you run apache in a Dos box by typing ?

To run in a Dos box type:

>apache.exe -e debug

Maybe you can follow James suggestion and install the Apache from the Lounge.

Steffan,

Thank you for your reply. I still have the install problem (C++ redistribute file had no effect on 2.0.59 install), but I have stopped working on this problem to anser your query on Apache version 2.2.

I am working from a PHP for Dreamweaver book by friendsofed. The author recommends not using 2.2 because it is incompatible with PHP for Windows. See the reference: http://www.friendsofed.com/errata.html?isbn=1590595696

If you think that this is incorrect please let me know and I will (try to) install Apache 2.2.

Thanks

Steffan,

To answer your question about using cmd prompt, I get the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Barling>apache.exe -e debug
'apache.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Thanks

NB

Steffen

Most of us running here php5.1 / Apache2.2 on windows here. And it was always compatible by using the Apachehandler from here.

But no problem that you use 2.0.59 it should work.

You typed: C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Barling>apache.exe -e debug

Is C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Barling the folder you installed Apache ?

Navigate in the DOS command window to the apache/bin folder and there you type the command.

I checked my services again and I definately do not have IIS running on port 80; so I don't know what the problem is?

Thanks

Steffen

Sure no other server running ?

Some sofware firewall/visruscsnaerr etc running ? Uninstall if yes (disabling is mostly not enough).

Btw. What is your Listen diective in the Apache httpd.conf ?

Steffan,

I have uninstalled Norton Security completely and installed IIS. I turned off IIS in the Services panel.

I restarted the PC.

I installed the Apache 2.0.59 server and the samr thing happened. Unable to bind to port 80....AND no Apache2 file found warning messages.

The httpd.conf is set to Listen 80.

I am now running out of ideas.

Thanks

Do you run skype?

Yes!

What should I do with it?

Thanks

James Blond

I don't know the english version, but skype uses Port 80. Shut it down and than try your apache Wink

Somewhere in the option you can set that skype don't use Port 80 and 443

Steffan, James,

The problem is resolved. I am not sure how but I think that by installing IIS and then turning it off, and then running the repair Apache installation solved the problem???

I now have Apache 2.0.59 running thanks to your help.

Now for PHP and MYSQL........

Thanks again

PS Steffan, although I am in Seattle I often visit Holland and fish the Hilversum canal!

NB

Steffen

The canal is near to me. I used to fish there also. When you there again, give me a sign and we get some coffee.

Steffen

ps.
Use my little proggie to check your php and mysql installation, www.apachelounge.com/download/mysqlinfo.zip

Hi Steffan,

Thanks for the PHP/MySQL checker, I will definately use it when I get MySQL installed. PHP 5.1.6 is now installed and looks good, so only MySQL to go.

I will hopfully be Holland in for the early May holiday next year and I will call you if I make it.

Thanks again.
