hi!

  I desperately need help fixing this error! When i run apache as a
console, it closes in a few seconds and i couldn't catch the message. i
then proceeded to go to the apache documentation at httpd.apache.org. i
followed the instructions to access the message from the command prompt
and here is the message:

(OS 10048)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address
0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

i don't know how to fix this. any help would be greatly appreciated :)

You don't say what operating system you use, so we can only guess. 

Open the command window and start Apache from the command line to
you can see the error message better. 

Check Windows system and application logs and Apache's error log for 
clues. 

You probably have another web server or other service running on
port 80. Run "netstat -a" from the command line to see. If it's
Windows IIS, disable it before you run Apache. Alternately, if you
want to continue to use IIS, you could configure Apache to run on
another port. 

yes, i fixed the problem. I had to stop PWS first. but know i have
another question. in the httpd.conf file, it said the document root was
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs. i put a test php file in
there and it did not open. I installed PHP, configured the http.conf
file and thought it should work.
