I'm using WAMP on Windows 7 and tonight I'm unable to start it (it's been working fine for about 3 years previously).
I first checked the logs, but nothing in there. So I checked the Windows Event Viewer (eventvwr
), where I saw 2x errors for each attempted start -
The Apache service named reported the following error:
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80.The Apache service named reported the following error:
no listening sockets available, shutting down.
After this, I opened the command prompt and ran netstat -a
, and to my surprise there were 3 entries for port 80 -
Prot Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 127.0.0.1:80 MyPCName:53831 TIME_WAIT
TCP 127.0.0.1:80 MyPCName:57834 TIME_WAIT
TCP 127.0.0.1:80 MyPCName:57839 TIME_WAIT
From here, I'm kind of lost. As far as I can tell, something is utalising port 80, but I don't know what or why.
If anyone is able to suggest what I might do next I'd be most greatful. Thanks.
