RE: make_sock: could not bind to ...

Hi Jinu,

 

       You get this "could not bind to portnumber" when the port you specified is not free.It may be occupied by some other

process.Change the port number in httpd.conf to some other value and start the Apache.

 

Thanks and regards,

Prathima.

Hi,
Refer to you httpd.conf file.There is one parameter named 
Servername.Put your hostname or ipaddress followed by the port number where you 
want to listen.Like for example
ServerName  10.146.146.73:80
Also there is one more 
param named as Listen.Put the same port value corresponding to Listen.For 
example Listen 80 and start the Apache.You should not be getting the 
error.
Thanks and regards

I tried looking in the wiki for this information as to why i am getting this message when i start the program apache.  It tells me that I need to do a run on my winows for netstat -ano.  Well unfortunatly there is no netstat program for me to do this with.  When i try to run this windows tells me that Netstat is not a vallid win32 aplication.  Does anyone know whats going on?

 

I am a total newbie to this software I intended to turn my computer in to a webhost for my personal website.. I was told that i had to have this software in order to do so when I get my domain address.
