Re: install or interference problem

Hello,

this is not a php question. and you problem is that Apache cannot _bind_ itself to the port that you specified in the apache.conf file (more likely XAMMP install did it for you). specifically Apache appears to be trying to bind itself to port 443 (which is the default port for HTTPS) and it's not succeeding - the reason it's not succeeding (AFAICT) is that it's trying to bind to port 443 on the network interface with IP 0,0,0,0 - which is a totally invalid IP address. try changing the string '0,0,0,0:443' into '*:443' in your apachce.conf file. (search and replace) here are better sources of info on the matter: http://www.google.com/search?q=apache+config http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/

It seems I do not get apache server to run. It shuts down instantly. I installed via http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Software_and_Servers/Installation_Kits/ the XAMPP implementation for the PHP-mysql server. I captured the following part of the message of the dos window when activating the apache server. Part is in dutch ...I freely translated that part in the "translated dos message". As far as I know I only run zone alarm in the background, and this

you're on windows which means that there are hundreds of processes running in the background - and assuming you're running windowsXP service pack 2 you are probably running the windows firewall on top of ZoneAlarm. not to mention a plethora of spyware, adware and related junk that has a high probability that it's running on your PC ... but that's down to Bill'n'Steve more than anyone else ;-/

nicely asks for access to internet for the various components of the XAMPP programs. What do I have to check/change/adapt to make sure the apache server runs. The mysql part does run properly by the way.
