Topic: Could not bind to address

[Maximus008]

I have seen this issue posted several times on the user board; however, none of the solutions have helped in my case. I have tried several different values in the listen section of httpd.conf, but none of them have had any effect. I keep getting the error message, "could not bind to address...etc." Does anyone know how to fix this?

Did you search the Apache Lounge forum ?

Also, my situation is kind of odd because my PHP code works that I put in the htdocs folder. All the configurations that I have made in order for PHP to work, seem to have changed. One weird thing, though, is that I have changed the PHP configuration to display error messages and this is not being changed. I have installed Apache 2.2 but was having problems with that and uninstalled it and now installed Apache 2.0.

[Maximus008]

yes, I did, but none of the recommendations that I found helped in my case.

specific error log entries?
Apache Distribution (ASF, here, other)?
typing netstat -an? in a console yields?
Configuration changes made?

-There aren't any errors in my error log except for some of the issues from some PHP files that I ran previously.

-I'm not really sure what you mean by Apache Distribution (if you are wondering which version I am running, it is 2.0.63

-When I typed netstat -an I got this:

-I only changed the httpd.conf file in order to run PHP and I have tried several different address and socket combinations for the LISTEN section

If Apache was not running when you did the netstat, something is listening already on Port 80 & 443.
