An entirely new error :) Note that when you run a program from an Administrator account, you ARE NOT RUNNING THE PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR. Try right clicking on 'start apache' from the start menu and this time, choose 'run as administrator'. This all goes back to running with UAC. I suspect if you change the port number to 8080 in your httpd.conf file, it will start with no problems. It's likely that Windows 2008/Vista has adopted the unix conventions on low port #s. > I can successfully ping "localhost" as 127.0.0.1, and have tried setting DomainName & ServerName to localhost. Wouldn't have anything to do with binding to that port. > I do have administrator permissions on my user account, but double clicking on msi file or even opening a CShell as Administrator and running "msiexec.exe /I apache_2.2.9-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8h-r2.msi" but neither way works.

And the ability to bind to an IP/Port wouldn't be listed there.
