Apache 2.0 stable and mature

[Jushin-Thunder-Liger]

In order to use subversion i need to install Apache, i know 1.33 is stable and have used it before. But what about 2.0? Is it as stable as 1.33?

Cheers

afaik it's stable, but that's from intranet use only really. 2.1 is the current alpha.

Configuring the thing is a pain in the arse isnt it?

Wont bind to port 80 as its in use (It isnt)
Wont bind to port 81 as listening is not available on 81 (it is)

Is it a doze or *nix box? If it's doze have you disabled IIS?

[Jushin-Thunder-Liger]

Server 2000.

Disabled IIS, MySQL, Messenger, SQLServer.

I just get

C:\Documents and Settings\davidr>"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\apac
he" -k install -n "Apache2"

(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:81
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Adjusted the config file to map it to 192.168.0.8:81 which is ready and listning yet it still tries to, and fails to map to 0.0.0.0:81


I'll give 'ol 1.33 a go in a minute


cheers!

Troubleshooting

Port 80 already in use. If you receive an error message like this:

ERROR 1
<OS 10048>Only one usage of each socket address <protocol/network address/port> is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind address 0.0.0.0.:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
Note the erros or messages above, and press <ESC> key to ext. ...

ERROR2
[Sat Oct 09 14;22:48 2004] [error] <OS2>The system cannot find the specific
ed. : no installed service named "Apache2".
Note the erros or messages above, and press <ESC> key to exit


it means that there is another server already running on port 80 (the default port used for HTTP connections). Only one application can listen for connections in a given port at the same time, so if you have active another server like IIS, Apache can't use that port.

The solution for this is as simple as disable the other program when you need to use Apache. If you don't know what program is using that port, you can use an utility like Active Ports or TCPView to get the list of programs associated to any active port in the system.

If for some reason you need to maintain the other program running in the port 80, you can change the port number in which Apache will listen for connections. You can use any port number that is not already used by another program between 1024 and 65535 (e.g. 8080, 800, 10080, 12345...). For doing that open the httpd.conf file and localize the following lines (they are located in different parts of the file):
