something stops apache...

Hello.
I cannot start apache server on my W2k machine because of something that
blocks my 80 port. I have no idea what service could do that.

Using (trying 2 use) apache 2.0.24 from apache.org.
The same version works fine on winXP.

Anybody understands the problem?

In your browser type this: "http://localhost". What do you see?

You most likely have either IIS (also called Personal Webserver) or a file
sharing app that takes over port 80.

A blank page. Problem is in that, I don't know what this application is.
Don't have any IIS nor any other MS progz installed...

What does
netstat -abnp TCP
(executed from a CMD prompt in an administrator login)
tell you? It should display which service or application has
taken ownership of port 80.

Hope this helps...

The Windows2000 version of netstat doesn't like this command line - the
-b option isn't valid. Does that switch name the application using the
port?

You could use TcpView to find out what process is listening on the port.
You can find it at http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html .
It provides lots of other useful stuff as well, and runs on Win2K.
