Fighting w/ Apache.

Post by fluffy-sama »

i have this lovely error message that shows up whenever I try to start my server...

(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.


...any clues? I looked up a tutorial on installing apache but apparently it didn't help much...

As a follow up, if you are using skype simply go into Options > Connections and uncheck "Use Port 80 as alternate connection..."

No I don't have Skype installed (don't even know what it is).. and I am doing this on windows.

I've tried looking at tutorials online about how to configure apache and install PHP and such but most of it seems to be way over my head and I'd have to look up directions about how to follow the directions X_X;

I think there is IIS running on your box. disable it and then run Apache

IIS? I don't think so... I tried to enable it but I can't find my windows disc, and so I couldn't... = /

But anyway i've got the thing working now. I don't know what the problem was.. Eitherway.. got it.

Now i have a different problem... let's say I got to http://localhost ... the browser displays index.html or index.htm... how do I get it to display index.php ? Right now it just shows the directory and what's in it..


I THINK i know how but I want to make sure before I go messing with the configuration file...

There's a line in the config file for it.

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex         index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm default.php default.htm
Just in order of significance (most significant first), space seperated filenames that will be loaded by default.
