    Off the top of my head, something else might be bound to port 80, maybe PWS? Without seeing any of your configuration script I can't do much better than that.

      i've installed apache1.3.12 on fresh win98 installation and no other web server is installed on it.I don't think we have to edit httpd.conf if we just want to test the installation.

        Hmmmm thats odd... well you do have to change one setting in the http.conf even if you just want to test it, look for "servername" and change that to whatever you server machines hostname is, "localhost" will do.

        I duno if that'll help any, but it's at least worth a try. When I first installed apache it wouldn't run until I changed this setting.
