(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address

I've been getting this error when running apache. I did an search which led me to try the following. Anyone have any ideas how to get past this?

Code: Select all

F:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin>apache
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted.  : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
What I've tried:

1. Modified ssl.default.conf
a. changed Listen 443 to Listen 4430 <-No Luck
b. I commented out the the following line to see if I could pass the error ( I don't need SSL) #LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

By commenting out the line, all it did was produce the second error (Below)

1. Modified httpd.conf
a. changed Listen 80 to Listen 8080 <- No luck

Code: Select all

F:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin>apache
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted.  : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8080
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Try installing without Xampp?

Apache comes in an MSI Windows Installer flavour that install in 2 minutes, and runs straight away. If that goes wrong check if any programs are utilising those ports already. netsta or similar on XP does that. This won't do any fancy Apache configuration - you'll need to manually edit httpd.conf to add PHP support as per the almight PHP manual.

If a default install fails - there must be something using/blocking those ports... IIS installed?

Not really what I want to do. Everything is setup PHP/Mysql/apache. No, I don't have IIS installed and I've checked to see if the port is being used by another program.

Anyone else?

Hi,

if it still interest anyone..
i got the same problem, the cause is the SKYPE program that holds port 80.

you should disable it from listening on this port on SKYPE/Option.
or simply shut it down.

now , try agian installing/running apache server - it should work now
