When we going to start the Apache we may receive the below Error message.
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10013) An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
:make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80.
This means that another Application is using the port 80 and because of that Apache cannot start from port 80.
To find out what application is using the port 80, Please use the below steps.
Enter the following on the command line:
C:\> 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.
By looking at the PID we can find which application is running on port 80.
Either we can Stop this application and start the Apache or we have to change the Apache Running port in HTTPD.conf file.
