Very nice and interesting tutorial! Make a video tutorial for this one, I’m sure people will appreciate this.
- This one’s interesting as well: http://apacheguide.org/apache.php
- Search any searchengine for WAMP (win) or MAMP (mac)
cheers,

i followed step by step your tutorial, it’s very helpful, but i’m still having error on apache configuration.
you said that for skype user, when starting apache there is an error message like ‘make_sock….’, and i got the same error message, and i’m not using skype.
how can i resolve this error? thank you very much, and i’m sorry about my english.
@Snoopee:
You should check whether there is another running on port 80. This is the port Apache wants to use and if there is another application running on this port you will get the ‘make_sock’ error. You can check this by running ‘netstat -ab’ in a command window.
If there is another application running on port 80, it’s advicable to change Apache’s port into something else. This can be achieved by changing 2 lines in your httpd.conf configuration file. First, use ‘Find’ to find “Listen 80″. Change the 80 into the portnumber of your choice, say 8888. Then use ‘Find’ again to locate “ServerName”. A few lines below the description about this there is another config line where you have to change the port to 8888 (for example). This should do the trick.
Let me know if this works for you! And your English isn’t bad at all:)
actually, my apache server is running well. but, if i go to >>start program >>apache http server >>control apache server >>start, the error message appeared. other than that, the server is running perfectly well.
and your sugestion, still not resolved the error. when i running ‘netstat -ab’, there isn’t any program that use port 80, i think the problem is in the address and not the port.
it is ok if you can resolve this, as long my server is running well, i can live with it.
