>Description:
I just installed Apache. When tryinf to start it the Dos Window opens but then immediatly closes
again. The error log shows the following message:
[Sat Nov 18 10:37:49 2000] [crit] make_sock: failed to get a socket for port 80
I installed Apache to use it as a localhost to test some CGI scripts.
I tried searching the your database and reveiwing the documentation in
hpptd.conf but couldnt find anything about make_sock. Since the program itself
is generating this error message, there must be a database of causes. Where do I
look?
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the above software on a win95 computer?
>Fix:
First time using server software. Learning to write CGI scripts and want to use
apache to test them as localhost. Possibly the conficuration otherwise,
Dont have a clue!
