Port 80 is already in use

[Anon]

I installed Apache on my Windows 98, but I got the error "make_socket() failed... no sockets available...". Then I tried port 81 instead of the default 80, and that works fine. But now I always have to use http://localhost:81.

Is there some way to know which service already uses port 80?

I installed MySQL before the Apache server. Maybe that's it?

No thats not it.

http server's default port is 80.
If you change it nobody can find the web page automatically and needs to type 81 each time. If it is going to be a server (somehow ??) try to use 80.
Check out "\windows\services" file. Find which service is in coflict with 80.

Or use Linux.

Good luck.
