I'm having difficulty getting apache to run. I is giving me the following error
The request operation has failed
I have disables IIS from the services but when I go to 127.0.0.1 on the browser I can see the Windows Server 2012 Remote Web Access screen.
How can I disable this so that I can run Apache?
UPDATE
I get this error when I try to start Apache using the Apache Start shortcut
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

I have been struggling with this issue since last 2 hours :(
It was common issue of 80 being used by another services. Normally stopping the
IIS
would be fine but here it wasn't working for me.There are other solution suggested over the web/SO to use
net stop http
but that would stop some other services that might be required for normal system functioning. Like thenet stop http
command give following errorWhat worked for me:
While scrolling through the list of services i have found one item that I suspected would be interfering. I've stopped the service and the apache was working now.
Not sure, if this is good solutions for long term but it works fine for me.
