corbin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Could not bind to address usually means that something else is already running on port 80. Do you have IIS?

corbin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (Don't know what yours will say in Spanish.... [Guessing your Windows version is in Spanish since part of your Apache error is.]) Open Windows Defender. Go to Tools->Software Explorer. Change Category to "Network Connected Programs." Click on each item and scroll to the bottom to see which ports it's using. Or, you could download a program that can do it more easily. I used to have a program, but I don't remember the name of it ;p.

pvaradero Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Look, what I did. I uninstalled and installed appserv 2.59. It installed conrrectly but when it goes to start Apache server it gives me the error: operation failed. I go to services in windows and I try to start Apache and nothing. In another post I read that someone installed WampServer and it worked. Would that be a solution? I don't want try until I find out what might be happing. Just to learn a bit more....

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148872-apache-suddenly-stopped/#findComment-781816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Open command prompt and do: ping localhost Does it say 127.0.0.1 or ::1? Try going to http://127.0.0.1/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148872-apache-suddenly-stopped/#findComment-782359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvaradero Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I did a ping localhost and I only get ::1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148872-apache-suddenly-stopped/#findComment-782598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Then you hosts file some how changed its self, which doesn't make sense x.x. Do you use WAMPServer by any chance? Anyway, open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and change the line ::1 localhost To 127.0.0.1 localhost Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148872-apache-suddenly-stopped/#findComment-782654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvaradero Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 WAMPServer by any chance? Yes, I had used this last night to get it workign and I couldn't. I already changed that in Notepad, but I could only saved it as host.dat. What would be the good extension to save the file? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and change the line ::1 localhost To 127.0.0.1 localhost Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148872-apache-suddenly-stopped/#findComment-782667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The file must be saved as "hosts" with no file extension. You need to access the file as an administrator.
