Hi all,
I have a problem in Apache on windows xp.I tried to unistall apache and install it again. But when in did the installation again, and tried to run apache, i get the following error message,

Socketaddresse can just be used once.
Make_sock: could not build to address 0.0.0.0.80
No listening sockets available.Shutting down
Unable to open logs.

and i also get
(error) OS2. The system cannot fine the installed service named "Apache2".

Please i need some one to help me out with this.I'm really fustrated cuz i need this stuff working as fast as possible.
PLEASE HELP ME

I can't really tell if this is going to help (don't have XP) but maybe Apache2 is still running.
Ctrl + Alt + Delete and check if it's still there
or there is something wrong with httpd.conf
but most times that shouldn't be the problem
try searching for 0.0.0.0 in httpd.conf and if found, change it to something else e.g. 127.0.0.1 or your computers IP address

I got the same problem. Here is the easy way.
Download and install Appserv 2.3. A package with apache/mysql/php from prdownloads.sourceforge.net.

Well, the easy way is good, but what if you already have php and sql installed? I get the same error leacoco gets, but Im running NT server, and I already have php, perl, and sql installed. All I need to get up and running is Apache. Ive also updated the conf file with my correct IP address that my website is running off of.

I have the same problem. I have Apache 1.3 installed with PHP and MySQL... I wanted to upgrade Apache but I get that error too

I just had the same problem and was able to FINALLy solved it after a whole night of stress..

The solution is simple, just disable any other WWW server and firewall you have.

For me, I had IIS admin service running.

To disable this, go to control panel, administrative tools, services, and look for iis service. after that just right click and stop the service =).

Then install the apache again, it should work.

Don't have IIS admin service running. Im using Windows XP, but I still get the same error. I check the admin tools and I dont know what's wrong. It's still not working. Got the same error:

(OS 1004 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
Note the errors or messages above, and press the (ESC) key to exit...

I need help, anyone... Pls?

Sounds like you have something else running on port 80
check 127.0.0.1 and it should pull up any webserver running on your local machine.

I had similar problem it was Apache was always on from startup so when deleting or overwriting with new package XP reloaded old apache settings at startup.

If this does not work go to Apache2 home page there is a warning about upgrading from Apache.

Junkked

I had this problem too. The only way I fixed was to do an entire system restore to get rid of all my apache files, then download it again.
