Hi! trying to get wordpress to work properly and I need to get PHP running and working with the browser google chrome. I've installed and apache can't connect to a socet among other things, I believe. I have followed the trouble shooting site and in the windows event error messages I find these error messages:

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> AH00015: Unable to open logs .

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10048)Normalt tillåts bara en användare för varje socketadress (protokoll/nätverkadress/port). : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 .


The strange words translate from swedish to english:
"Normally only one user per socet adress is allowed"

I have no idea what this means I am a complete beginner when it comes to this. the color of the icon is orange and when I try opening any logs or files from the WAMP application, all I get is blanc pages.

Thankful for any help and I apologise if this has been covered already

It sounds like something has already grabbed port 80 ( the apache listening port)

How to Configure SKYPE so it does not require port 80 or 443

Run SKYPE
then using the menus do this:

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection

Un-Check the checkbox next to 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incomming connections'

Now restart SKYPE for these changes to take effect.


If you are running Windows 8 SKYPE comes as an app and this cannot ( as yet ) be configured in this way.
However if you uninstall the SKYPE app and install SKYPE in the old way, you can reconfigure it, and it works just as well.
