Socket binding problem after installation

Hi,

I've installed Apache 2.0 on Windows XP, and it says it was
successfully installed, but when testing httpd.conf it gives the
following error:

"Only one usage of each socket address <protocol/network address/port>
is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address
127.0.0.1:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down."

Basically I can't use the server. Can anyone help please?

Many thanks

Roxana

You probably have another application using port 80, possibly IIS. Make
sure that's not running, and/or use another port besides 80.

Do a google groups search on this common problem for many complete
descriptions and solutions.
