XAMPP Apache Error (NET HELPMSG 3547 + could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80)

Admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:17:16 +0000

Today I stress once when turned on the laptop and can not access localhost. I use all-in-one tool (XAMPP) consists of apache, mysql, etc. in Windows XP. In the XAMPP control panel, stop apache, do not want to walk, despite being installed as a service to run automatically when booting. Then I tried to enable Apache through DOS, (write this command at a command prompt, C: \ xampp \ apache \ bin> apache-t, depending on the location of your XAMPP), but to no avail and came out an error message “HELPMSG NET 3547“. The second attempt, I tried with the following command “C: \ xampp \ apache \ bin> httpd.exe“, but it did not work and produced an error message:

“(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
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs “

From the message, see that Apache can not connect to port 80! After searching on Google, I finally found the answer. It turned out that Skype has to use port 80 and occurs with Apache crashes. Sanagat solution is easy, non-activate Skype first, start the Apache service, and run Skype again. Now everything will go smoothly Have a nice day.

Enable WordPress Permalink In Localhost Using XAMPP

Admin — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:20:13 +0000

Do you want to change wordpress permalink in localhost using XAMPP but return page not found? So this is the right place for you to fix it and using permalink in localhost. As default, XAMPP was disabled rewrite module for .htaccess so it will ignore any rewrite module that needed to make permalink. To enable this module you just need easy one single step!

Here we go … By default, XAMPP will have folder installation in C:\xampp. Now open C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf using your favourite text editor (i prefer to Notepad++ since they very powerfull than original notepad) and find this code. If you using Notepad++ like me just press Ctrl+G and enter 118 to go to lines 118.

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Remove mark (#) from begining code. Now your code should be like this

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Save file and close. Your permalink now is ready to use. Anyway to setting permalink in wordpress go to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks. Usually i use only “/%postname%/” setting to more friendly in search engine. Of course it would be effective if you do this for online site
