[nikhilreddy]

I am trying to do this for about 20 days.. but finding no fruit I am posting it here
I tried RPM's and tarballs.. they are getting installed. But to configure them.. I am unable to do it.. I mean.. after installing httpd.2.2.4 tarball for instance.. I am unable to start the service... it is giving the message

# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
( 98 )Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
( 98 )Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
#_


or even this is not at all giving me any result..

# service apache2 start
service: no such service apache2
# service httpd start
service: no such service httpd
#_

would any one kindly help me out of this??
I am using SuSE 10.1 distro...

"AND BY THE WAY.. I HAVE TO WORK WITH PHP AND MYSQL TOO.. SO I WANT THIS APACHE WEB SERVER TO WORK WITH THOSE TOOLS.."
Thanks in advance...!

your log says that there is another service already listening on port 80. Since apache, by default, binds to port 80, it could not start the service.

Check if you have any other web server listening on port 80. If yes, stop that and try starting your Apache.
