An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

Environment: Windows Server 2008 Standard with MSQL, MySQL, and IIS installed

Story: Tried to install Apache HTTP Server 2.216 with default configuration on a Windows Server 2008 and got the below error message during start up.

Error Message: The Apache service named  reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.  : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

Solution:

  1. Stop or disable IIS (World Wide Web Publishing Service)
  2. Run >netstat -ao from the command prompt and you will see PID(4) is accessing 0.0.0.0:80
  3. Open task manager and add the process id to the process tab. You will see that the process with pid(4) has the name “System”
  4. (“System” ~ Microsoft) Therefore, you can try to stop Microsoft related web apps such as SQL server reporting services
  5. Once you have disabled SSRS, you can go ahead and start up your Apache web server.
