Topic: Make_sock could not bind to address

[Mungbeans]

In the last few days my Apache server on my development machine is not starting up. I get the error message:

[Mungbeans]

I discovered Skype was the culprit. Its strange that this problem has only just shown up, because I've been running them together for weeks.

[James Blond]

If you start Apache first, skype uses a different port

[Mungbeans]

Ah, now that would be useful.

How do you check the order of your startup items in XP?

[James Blond]

You can't order the startup. That is some of the miracles of Windows start skype by hand. or change the Port for skype in the skype config

I'm having the same error message. How do I find out which programs are using port 80?

[ali_fareed]

Hi there..I also get this problem..even when I have no connection to the net.

I have 4 pcs running on a network.."server", intel", "compac", "laptop"...each configured with their own ip addresses.

I installed apache on the "server" pc without a problem and can connect to the "server" with all my pc's. Everything runs smoothly, apache, mysql, file server, php...etc

I then installed apache on "intel" pc, everything works except apache and I get the error mention ie "could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

I tried your "netstat -ab and nothing is using port 80, yet apache will not run...any other assistance will be appreciated..thanx

Never mind boys and gals..I found the problem....so just for interest sake...I had originally installed "windows iis to run asp...I had never removed it completely before installing Apache....

After removal of iss and rebooting, apache runs fine...

[kassit]

I've removed IIS but the error occured again:?:

[kassit]

What the strange ? i used netstat and no program was listening to port:80
of course Skye was installed but listening to another port.
in spite of this when i closed Skype , The problem solved

When Skype installs it picks a port with a high number such as 12754 for its own use. BUT is also picks some backup ports - one of which is port 80. This causes the conflict with Apache. Drill down to Skype's advanced tab and tell it not to use port 80.

Hi guyz

I found the same problem in ma apache

(9)Bad file descriptor: make_sock: could not bind to port 80

You have to do is just go to your apache directory where you installed it.

under the apache goto conf and open httpd with notepad
and find port

define custom port for example 6600

and restart the apache service. done this will work

below is the part of httpd.

"Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. Certain firewall
# products must be configured before Apache can listen to a specific port.
# Other running httpd servers will also interfere with this port. Disable
# all firewall, security, and other services if you encounter problems.
# To help diagnose problems use the Windows NT command NETSTAT -a
#
Port 6600

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.
#
ServerAdmin ztech@ztech"
