This is my instruction (we simply change the way to run): 1) Launch RegEdit: 2) Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP 3) Find a DWORD (32-bit) value ‘Start’ not including the quotes 4) Go to the properties 5) In the Value data field type ‘0′ not including quotes and click OK 6) Re-boot your computer You should now find that Apache will start on port 80! Hello. This is my instruction (we simply change the way to run):

Apache 2.0.05 was giving me too much trouble so I upgraded to 2.2.14. This eliminated the No Service Installed error, and the system does come up in localhost mode, but when it loads I get: (OS 10048) Only one use of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.80. No listening socket available. Shutting down. Unable to open logs. I ran netstat -ano | find ":80" and it indicated LISTENING PID 80 I'm not sure how to trace that or what might be causing it.

I get this after installing a fresh version (2.0.52) I used on the XP Pro system then copying over the Apach Group folder or if I just start with a freh install of v2.2.14 Would I be better off to just install Window XP Pro over this Windowes 7 Pro system After fixing the port 80 problem by disabling UAC I now get this error:

I'm enthusiast with my brand new windows 7, as much as I am in love with XP, but such problems made me drive bananas. After all, after having fixed that problem the first time, and then the services restarted, I had no more problems. Maybe due to some automatically installed patch, or something changed within the windows configuration. @cosmin

It was a systemprocess, too. netstat -nao |find "80" The problem was my installed MSSQL which service i had started. xampp and mssql use the same important port, but the highest priority has ms. =( To deactivate it, change all services related to MSSQL to manually: run->services.msc I don't know which one is the right one to turn off. Thx for giving me hints on that problem! My xampp didn’t work with Win7.
