I'm trying to run a WAMP server, but i think Apache is getting port 80 blocked by something.
I did some research and found that in the event viewer it gives the error:
(OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 .
i looked up 0.0.0.0:80 on netstat -ao, which gave a PID of 4. The only problem is, there is nothing with a PID of 4 on my task manager. Does anyone know what might be taking up port 80, or how i might figure this out?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Yes, i did deactivate the port from Skype, and it is forwarded correctly. This started happening i think when I installed IIS, but i thought i got rid of it.(yes i did disable it in control panel)
EDIT:
OK, i just changed the port in the config, all is well. Dont' know why i didn't think of that originally.
There are two ways to solving this problem.
1.If you want to run Apache in another port then:Replace in xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf ServerName localhost:80 by ServerName localhost:81 At line 184. After that even it may not work.Then replace
#Listen 0.0.0.0:80
#Listen [::]:80
Listen 80
by
#Listen 0.0.0.0:81
#Listen [::]:81
Listen 81
at line 45
2.Your port 80 is being used by the system or Skype. If by Skype then first quit Skype and run Apache. And you can restart Skype.
In Windows “World Wide Publishing" Service is using this port and stopping this service will free the port 80 and you can connect Apache using this port. To stop the service go to the “Task manager –> Services tab”, right click the “World Wide Publishing Service” and stop.
If you don't find there then Then go to "Run > services.msc" and again find there and right click the “World Wide Publishing Service” and stop.
If you didn't find “World Wide Publishing Service” there then go to
"Run>>resmon.exe>> Network Tab>>Listening Ports" and see which
process is using port 80
And from "Overview>>CPU" just Right click on that process and click "End Process Tree". If that process is system that might be a critical issue.
Some case Port 80 is being used by SYSTEM or other services. This like may helps you

I have installed XAMPP on my pc and I change all port from '443' to '4433' and '80' to '8080' but when I start Apache it say me that port '80' is already use but Apache must use '8080' and when I go to 'http://localhost/' it display me a 404 error then I don't know what to do.
With netstat -ao on 'cmd' I see that port '80' is using by a program whit 'PID=4' and I see in the task manager that this PID is for "NT Kernel & System" so I can not kill it.
Please try with the port number http://localhost:8080
it seems like you have changed the port from here C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Listen 12.34.56.78:80 to 8080
Listen 80 to 8080
Alternative if want to use port 80 then
If the skype is open try to change the port from the select options(80/443).Sometimes this is the problem.IIS server if running it might use the same port
You can use some tools to kill the process for example, currports, TCPview etc.Hope it helps to solve your problem.
I had the same problem after upgrading to Windows 10. I had to stop the IIS service: "World Wide Web Publishing Service". After stopping/disabling it, it freed up port 80.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (opens taskmanager), Services and stop W3SVC service - World Wide Web Publishing Service;
I had same problem.
You change your port 80 to 8080.
Therefore to log localhost, you have to use http://localhost:8080/xampp/ and not http://localhost/xampp/
Then when you use xampp control panel, sometime you have to face same problem as I was.
Can't go to admin page using admin button in mysql. To get rid of this problem you can do following changes.
Go to xampp control panel.
Using config button open configuration of control pannel. Then click service and port setting and under appache setting you can change your main port 80 to 8080.
I am trying to configure access over Internet for xampp under Ubuntu. All works fine but when I add: Listen myip:80 in httpd.conf I cannot start apache server again. This is the error shown in /opt/lampp/logs/error_log:
(99)Cannot assign requested address: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address xx.xxx.xxx.xx:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs
I cannot start Apache only if I add Listen xx.xxx.xxx.xx:80. If I change the Listen 80 to Listen 1234 or another port it runs ok. The problem seems to exist only if I add an IP.
I found this comment over the internet but I have no idea how to do it for xampp:
"The problem was the additional network cards were not configure with the addition IP's."
Also running from root netstat -ltnp | grep ':80' does not show anything.
I do not have Skype installed and it seems that there is no other process running on port 80.
Any ideas why this could be or how to fix?
I finally managed to get this working. I turned out I had not properly configured the forwarding of the IP from my outside address to the local IP address obtained by the Virtualbox.
I was using a Bridged Adapter, when I should have used a NAT connection and forward the outside IP to the Virtual box IP.
Hope this answer helps others with similar issue.
I just downloaded Xampp server xampp-win32-1.8.2-0-VC9.zip file for windows and tried to start the apache server. But the server failed to start with the following message:
XAMPP now starts as a console application.
Instead of pressing Control-C in this console window, please use xampp_stop.exe
to stop XAMPP, because it lets XAMPP end any current transactions and cleanup
gracefully.
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:
80
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs
So clearly the port number 80 is already occupied.
So I went to the apache/conf/httpd.conf file and found the line:
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
And changed the second line above to
Listen 8010
So the server must now start at port number 8010.But its instead starting on https default port number 443 and again giving the same error:
XAMPP now starts as a console application.
Instead of pressing Control-C in this console window, please use xampp_stop.exe
to stop XAMPP, because it lets XAMPP end any current transactions and cleanup
gracefully.
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:
443
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs
So how should I make the server run at the port number of my choice and why is my approach not working. As far as I can remember, the approach used to work on earlier versions of xampp but is not working now.
This is the link which helped me to change my port.
And this video too.
Turns out that Skype blocks XAMPP from running apache. Just close skype, open the server, and reopen skype. That fixed the issue for me.
If you are using Xampp, open this file httpd-ssl.conf and search for this entry Listen 443, change it to ,say, Listen 444
Then restart apache.
You need to change the port from the https-ssl.conf. From control panel of xamp config and apache (Httpd-ssl.conf) change the port.
I ran setup_xampp.bat and edited the port number from the control panes using the config button of apache. Then I found this line Listen 80 and change the port number to 81 by editing this line. This solved the problem for me.
This problem has completely shot my entire day. I reformatted my old windows XP comp and tried installing XAMPP only to find that when i try to start Apache xampp claims port 80 is busy....WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
So I tried just uninstalling and moving to EasyPHP instead and when I installed that I get the error "error in Apache configuration file: the system cannot execute the specified program"
No, I do not have Skype or any other programs really for that matter at this point, like I said I JUST REFORMATTED so idk whats going on.
I would love to get this fixed, but if you leave me a answer please be specific on directions bc I'm only programming, never been to big on IT and playing with command lines and what not for me isn't to much fun.
Things to be done to free port 80:
check if skype is running, exit from skype
check services.msc if web deployment agent service is running
check if IIS is running, stop it.
Once you start apache, you can sign into skype.
Only one process can use port 80 at a time. Port 80 is the default port for web servers, so when you navigate to websites over HTTP, you are actually navigating to that server's port 80 by default (when you use HTTPS, the port is 443).
You can try to hunt down all the programs that are running on port 80, but there's an easier way that will work for development. When running XAMPP, click "Config" under "Apache". Replace Listen 80 with Listen 8080 and ServerName localhost:80 to ServerName localhost:8080.
Then, when you want to look at your masterpiece, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) SSRS can remain active even if you uninstall SQL Server.
To stop the service:
Open SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Select “SQL Server Services” in the left-hand pane.
Double-click “SQL Server Reporting Services”.
Hit Stop.
Switch to the Service tab and set the Start Mode to “Manual”.
Skype
Irritatingly, Skype can switch to port 80. To disable it, select Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection then uncheck “Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections”.
IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Server)
For Windows 7 (or vista) its the most likely culprit. You can stop the service from the command line.
Open command line cmd.exe and type:
net stop was /y
For older versions of Windows type:
net stop iisadmin /y
Other
If this does not solve the problem further detective work is necessary if IIS, SSRS and Skype are not to blame. Enter the following on the command line:
netstat -ao
The active TCP addresses and ports will be listed. Locate the line with local address “0.0.0.0:80″ and note the PID value. Start Task Manager. Navigate to the Processes tab and, if necessary, click View > Select Columns to ensure “PID (Process Identifier)” is checked. You can now locate the PID you noted above. The description and properties should help you determine which application is using the port.
Run this in command prompt:
netstat -ano | find ":80"
It will show you what process (PID) is listening on port 80.
From there you can open task manager, make sure you have PID selected in columns view option, and find the matching PID to find what process it is.
If its svchost.exe you'll have to dig more (see tasklist /svc).
I had this happen to me recently and it wasn't any of the popular answers like Skype either, could be Adobe, Java, anything really.
Port 80 might be busy with other application like IIS. If you don't want to stop it, you can change the apache port. Here is the way..
go to the C:\xampp\apache\conf (directory where you installed xampp). Now, locate the httpd.conf.
Open it with any text editor (like notepad) and go the line that says Listen 80
Change this with any other port (like Listen 1234)
Save the file. Restart the server and go ahead.
xampp port 80 is busy when some other application is using the same port at that time. This can be solved by using one of the following methods:
Detect the application which is using the port 80 and close it.
This one is more efficient. xampp installs apache server with default port 80. So, you can change this port manually to any number.
Just find the httpd.conf file in xampp installation and replace the following line of code.
#Listen 12.34.56.78:1234
Listen 80
to any port number of your choice. Here, i have taken 8000.
#Listen 12.34.56.78:1234
Listen 8000
Find the following code in the same file httpd.conf
ServerName localhost
Replace with the following, take the same number you have used in upper code.
ServerName localhost:8000
For detailed answer, check http://webolute.com/blog/programming/this-may-be-due-to-a-blocked-port-missing-dependencies
Just do one thing
open skype > tools > advance or advance settings Change port 80 to something else 7395
Restart your system then start Apache
I've found that the biggest culprit for taking up port 80 on newer Windows installs is the BranchCache Service (#3) in this list...
SQL Server Reporting Services
Web Deployment Agent Service
BranchCache
World Wide Web Publishing Service
These 4 service probably cover 90% of the native Windows Services that take up port 80.
The other 10% is the hidden HTTP.sys service/driver which takes port 80 when another service requests it. Run this to disable it, and reboot.
sc config http start= disabled
Aside from Skype, TeamViewer is also very commonly installed software, and will take port 80 if not configured otherwise.
List taken from: Opening Up Port 80 For Apache to Use On Windows
If you are running VMWare Workstation , you need to stop the VmWare Workstation server - port 443 as well
So I have faced the same problem when trying to start apache service and I would like to share my solutions with you.
Here is some notes about services or programs that may use port 80:
Skype: skype uses port 80/443 by default. You can change this from tools->options->
advanced->connections and uncheck the checkbox "use port 80 and 443 for addtional incoming connections".
IIS: IIS uses port 80 be default so you need to shut down it. You can use the following two commands
net stop w3svc
net stop iisadmin
SQL Server Reporting Service: You need to stop this service because it may take port 80 if IIS is not running. Go to local services and stop it.
These options work great with me and I can start apache service without errors.
The other option is to change apache listen port from httpd.conf and set another port number.
Hope this solution helps anyone who face the same problem again.
This happens because some other programs running in your system is using the default port 80 used for http service by apache server in xampp/easy php.
Some programs like skype usually use port 80.
so find such program and remove it ...
For finding programs listening port 80 refer Port 80 listening programs
Try finding the Service running on the PID that is blocking the service from Task manager->Services
In case this isn't of help go to Task Manager->Services
Go to the Services button on bottom right of window and stop the Web Deployment Agent Service. Retry starting Apache . That might solve the problem.
This problem is because port 80 is used by some other application. Try to reconfigure port.
I have XAMP 1.6.8 and IIS 5.0 installed on my PC(Windows XP SP3).
I'm unable to run them simultaneously. If IIS service is running, Apache throws the following error:
(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 Note the errors or messages above, and press the key to exit. 24...
Windows could not start the Apache2 on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1.
Edit:
Apache runs on a different port 3128. And IIS (asp.net) usually runs on a different port.
"could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80" means that, when it starts up, it tries to bind to port 80 on all available network interfaces. As IIS already has hogged one (or more) IPs to bind to, apache cannot get any and so will fail.
(I'm not sure if it will bind to any available IPs if you've configured it to bind to all, but one is already taken.)
So, configure Apache to bind to a different port (if you only have 1 IP address), or to bind to a different IP or range of IPs.
You do this by changing the binding. First find the Listen directive in the configuration file (httpd.conf) and change it. Currently it will say "Listen 80" (meaning all IPs), change it to say "Listen 192.168.0.2:80" to make it bind to that specified IP address.
You may have to edit the IIS configuration too to tell it to only bind to a single IP address too.
You need to configure either Apache or IIS to listen on a different port.
You can also use tcpview to check which ports are in use by which applications since it sounds like you have a conflict.
If you cant hit the arrow in centre of the circle, hit the arrow and then draw a circle around it. - I tried everything advised, uninstalled skype, no IIS running,added apache program to antivirus, still this did not solve the program
finally i changed apaches port from 80 to 82 look for Listen 80 in the httpd.conf and change this
