WampServer

Hi, I have installed the WAMP package on my system but when I trying to start Apache server the following message appear:

Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This is the log of Apache:

BTW I have tried another LAMP packages but I get the same results. My operating system is Windows XP SP2. Any suggestion will appreciative.

start the startwamp.exe program, and then use the wamp try icon and use the 'Test Port 80' feature. it will test port 80 which apache needs to be free to work. if another server link IIS or program like skype is using port 80 shut them down, and you will be able to start apache again.

I have tried that before, the test said: Your port 80 is not actually used.

make sure your firewall allows you to run apache as a web server and allows access to port 80. it that does not work, your isp may block port 80 which apache needs to connect to the web. open your apache conf file httpd.conf and find:
Listen 80

change it to
Listen 80

save the file and try to start wamp again. if it starts you need to access your website with your browser like this:
http://localhost:80

I turn off my firewall & antivirus then I changed the httpd.conf to Listen 81 but the same thing occur BTW I don't see the relation my the ISP because I'm trying to access this server locally from the same machine.
