tried to start httpd just now. i always get this error when i set the httpd to listen on a ip address. this is for me to look at the server from a winxp box. what is the prob. of course when i take out listen to xyz ip it works. but what do i access the server on then ? any ideas ?

httpd not running, trying to start
(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.8.9:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down

Some other service is atteched to port 80.
Look through your startup scrips, and ps -A
Make sure httpd isn't running.. and... try to kill as many things as you can. Find out what's using it.

Hi !
I just want to know how to write an application that can retrieve a we-page in c.
Though I know sockets have to be used somewhere, I don't exactly where and how.Please help!

Thanx.
