Hi,
I have had Apache/PHP/MySQL on WindowsXP up and running for a long time without any problems. I had broadband (wirefree) installed today (fixed IP address), replacing dial-up. After installation broadband, I could then no longer go to localhost with browser. Instead it was trying to find localhost on the internet, resulting in Error 404 page.
I'm afraid I am not savy at all when things go pear-shaped, so bear with me ...
I was advised to uninstall current Apache and re-install. So, I got a later version (Apache 2.2.3) and installed this. The error "make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80" came up.
From another message I read to find out what was already listening to that port. Ran netstat -abn and realized that Skype was. I quit Skype, uninstalled Apache and re-installed it. It says that Apache is now installed successfully and the make_sock error did not come up. However, still can't start Apache service ! 
I am utterly lost ... If there is anyone who can please help me, I would appreciate it.
many thanks
Bea |

| make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 means that there is a proggramm listening on Port 80. Are you running skype? Maybe a firewall blocks port 80 |
