安装成功但无法在我的 Windows 7 系统上启动 apache 2.4

Question

I am attempting to install and run apache 2.4 on my windows 7 system I went to the apache 2.4 bin directory and ran the following: Note: I opened the cmd window as administrator. C:\\Apache24\\bin>httpd.exe -k install

Its output was as follows:

Installing the Apache2.4 service
The Apache2.4 service is successfully installed.
Testing httpd.conf....
Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started.
(OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its acces
s permissions.  : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its acces
s permissions.  : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open log

So it installed apache 2.4 as a service but it could not be started. It seems like the localhost port 80 is being used. Is this what "[::]:80" means?

I then stopped both the the apache 2.0 service which I had left running and the mysql service, hoping stopping one of them might free up localhost port 80.

I also run netstat -o to see if port 80 is being used. It was not.

But, I then found that a process was using the above socket it is a process that is listening on the above socket

 TCP    [::]:80                User-PC:0              LISTENING       4

I then ran tasklist and found out that System is using pid 4. 4 is under the pid column

System                           4 Services                   0        544 K

Finally, from the failed attempt to start the service I got an error which was recorded in windows systems events.

The error from the attempt to start says that beacause of lack of access, make-sock could not bind to sockets which to me looked like localhost port 80. For example,

  (OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its acces
    s permissions.  : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

Can anyone tell what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Sorry for the belabored question. To solve my problem I just told apache 2.4 to listen to a different port in httpd.conf. Since System was using pid 4 which was listening on port 80, I did not want to explore this any further.

I put the following into httpd.conf. Listen 127.0.0.1:122

Answer 2

The most likely culprit is Microsoft Internet Information Server. You can stop the service from the command line on Windows 7/Vista:

net stop was /y

or XP:

net stop iisadmin /y

Answer 3

I have the same problem too, after upgrading win7 to win10. then I check services.msc and found " World Wide Web Publishing Service " was running automatically by default. So then I disabled it, and running the Apache service again.

Answer 4

Port 80 maybe used by Microsoft HTTPAPI

Try to stop the following service:
  Web Deployment Agent Service
  SQL Server Reporting Service
  SQL Server VSS Writer

Answer 5

I solved this issue finally, it was because of some systems like skype and system processes take that port 80, you can make check using netstat -ao for port 80

Kindly find the following steps

1. After installing your Apache HTTP go to the bin folder using cmd

2. Install it as a service using httpd.exe -k install even when you see the error never mind

3. Now make sure the service is installed (even if not started) according to your os

4. Restart the system, then you will find the Apache service will be the first one to take the 80 port,

Congratulations the issue is solved.

Answer 6

if you are using windows os and believe that skype is not the suspect, then you might want to check the task manager and check the "Show processes from all users" and make sure that there is NO entry for httpd.exe. Otherwise, end its process. That solves my problem.

Answer 7

So, that is why i do a two (or more) post.

I was having the same problem when starting the service (logs can not be opened).

I thought it was because i was trying to have htdocs inside a VeraCrypt encripted container, absurd since i hace such contained mounted and i use a juntion to not affect paths.

The i read the cause could be low ram: after some tests i get to the next conclusion.

Windows is not sending pages to virtual ram to free enough ram if it is a service, for applications it is doing it, i have more than 200GiB of pagefile ready to be used as virtual ram in a 4GiB 64 Bit windows 10.

My solution:

1. Run a free utility that free ram (512MiB in my test)
2. Inmediatly after start the service, it starts with no errors

Real Cause:

• I was using a virtual machine that uses 1/2 physical free ram (1.5GiB)

Hope this help others.

Answer 8

I was also facing the same issue, then i tried restarting my system after every change and it worked for me:

1. Uninstall Apache2.4 in cmd prompt (run administrator) with the command: httpd -k uninstall .
2. Restart the system.
3. open cmd prompt (run administrator) with the command: httpd -k install .
4. Then httpd -k install .

Hope you find useful.

Answer 9

you can solve it

sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf

and changed Listen to 8080

Answer 10

In my case, it was due to an IP address that Apache is listening to. Previously I have set it to 192.168.10.6 and recently Apache service is not running. I noticed that due to My laptop wifi changed recently and new IP is different. After fixing the wifi IP to laptop previous IP, Apache service is running again without any error.

Also if you don't want to change wifi IP then remove/comment that hardcode IP in httpd.conf file to resolve conflict.

Answer 11

This may be because of shortage in physical RAM.

Check minimum system requirements in the docs and try to close unnecessary programs if possible.
