Answer 1

some application/program is already using port 80, you need to closed this app that using port 80, check services if you have iis running or change the port on which apache listen on httpd.conf

check if 80 is listening, go to command prompt type

netstat -a

look for LISTENING

What that means is something is running on port 80 which is the internet web browser port.  Do you use Skype? or any other program that uses port 80..  Go to a command prompt and run netstat -abn and netstat -aon to see if anything shows on port 80 -- if so you need to stop that program.

If you have IIS running, it will be using port 80.. you can only run ONE web server at a time on any given port. You can also reconfigure apache to run on a different port if needed.

ADD: If nothing is running on port 80, check the firewall - see if it blocks you.
