[users@httpd] Newbie: Problem with new Apache installation on XP Home
Hello,
Can someone help, please?
I've just installed Apache 2.0.48 on Windows XP Home.
At installation time I selected a domain and IP address of "localhost" and I
installed Apache as a service.
The installation procedure finished by telling me that the installation was
successful.
However, whenever I try and start the server I get an error message saying
that the action failed.
The logs show the following:
Listen setup failed

failed. Exiting.

As you can see, the error logs state that there is a syntax error on line
120 of httpd.conf.
Here is the original line 120:
Listen 80
I've also tried:
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
Listen localhost:80
But to no avail.
What should I set it to?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Frank.
