Both IIS and Apache are trying to use port 80, if your not using IIS turn it off then restart apache.
If you need IIS then open up your httpd.conf file for apache and find where is says 'Listen 80' and change that to 'Listen 81'
Save it and restart apache.

All files for apache will now be localhost:81

Best option would be to turn of IIS if your not using it.
