Apache won't start in XAMPP

Hello all. I am an IT student completing my co-op I'm trying to set up an offline copy of my client's Zen Cart page. I set up XAMPP and copied over the Zen Cart database on Friday, but now when I try to start Apache in the XAMPP Control Panel Application I get the following:

"ERROR: Apache service not started [-1]"

I went into the XAMPP folder on my C: drive and ran the file apache_start.bat, and when I did that I got another error message:

"(OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by it's access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Apache could not be started"

What's going on? Everything worked fine when I left the computer on Friday.

Re: Apache won't start in XAMPP

I should be more clear, and less rude. I don't understand what you're asking me to do?

Re: Apache won't start in XAMPP

Kobra is gently suggesting that help for Xampp problems is best obtained from the Xampp experts at the Xampp forum rather than the Zen Cart forum. Possibly this would be a better link >> http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewforum.php?f=34
