AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

When I do a netstat -nab it shows that the port is being used to listen by httpd.exe, which is part of Apache I think. The icon stays yellow and the error comes up whenever I try to start Apache. What do I do to fix this?

well you could actually try stopping apache even trying to connect on ipv6

left click wamp>apache>httpd.conf


find
listen 80
and change to
listen 0.0.0.0:80
or
listen 127.0.0.1:80

the first one(0.0.0.0) is better if it will work.

then fully restart wamp

You're the bomb just as others said this worked, and I couldn't find the answer anywhere else. Luckily google brought me to this forum.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
LAMP
9/4/2014

[Error in console]
(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
[/end]

Fix from Steven

find listen 80

and change to

listen 0.0.0.0:80
