Re: Virtual Host problems

["Craig Huffstetler" <craig.huffstetler@xxxxxxxxx>]

Edwin,

Again, google.com is your friend. I can't stress this enough.

If you simply go to google.com and type in:
"windows apache no listening sockets available"
or try
"windows apache could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80"

And look at the top results, you will most likely find an answer. Did you try this before writing to us? Research, again, is your best friend and how you will learn. I can not stress. this. enough.

It looks like you have another service running on port 80. Do you have another application, daemon or server running on port 80? Can you please look into this. Perhaps go to:
START > RUN
Type in services.msc
And look for IIS or PWS and see if either are STARTED and/or running automatically (if so, right click and turn them OFF and also go to PROPERTIES and set them to MANUAL startup) or any other web server/services. 

Please make sure these are shut down if you are planning on using Apache as your primary web server. You can not have two web servers listening on port 80 at the same time. It's just not possible.

Sincerely,

Craig Huffstetler

Ok out with the old and in with the new. Now That I have read through that and I think I understood most of it. Thank you Craig
I did modify my file structure and as well as modified my code to include quotation marks. But the redirect to the new file structure isn't working
I know I'm still doing something wrong.

The error this time was
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

There's th eproblem:
'Documentroot takes one argument, Root directory of the document tree'

Try quotes around that:
DocumentRoot "C:/users/edwin j mcleod/documents/Apache Software"


Neither windows nor unix/linux likes a space in a file name.
Good luck
