Topic: Installing httpd-2.2.3-win32-x86-ssl.zip

[new to this]

I am very new to this so please bare with me. I downloaded httpd-2.2.3-win32-x86-ssl.zip from apachelounge.com and followed all the instructions that came along with it but i stay recieving the following error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\APACHE2\BIN>httpd.exe -k install
Installing the Apache2 service
The Apache2 service is successfully installed.
Testing httpd.conf....
Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started.
(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
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have also tried changing the port in httpd.config but when doing this i get a new error which says something about there not being enough directives.

Could you please give me some advise on this.

There is a programm listen on Port 80 or a Firewall blocks port 80

Do you run skype? Skype also blocks Port 80

No i dont run skype. What else could it be and how can i fix it?

Something on your system is utilizing OR blocking Port 80.

CurrPorts can show you what is using Port 80. It's free and can be downloaded at the below link:

If nothing shows up in CurrPorts, then you have something blocking the port - Something like Windows Firewall, most modern Anti-Virus software include some type of 'soft' firewall (like Windows Firewall).

You can try to close the service of Windows IIS. And check the port 80.

you can use tcpview to see which process is using port 80 :
