Answer 1

Me also coming the same problem. The solution is goto add or remove programes then click the turn windows features on or off. Turn off the IIS. That is turn off the 'Internet information services' and 'Internet information service removable web core'. I chosed the remaining features are on. Computer will ask to restart the system. Restart ur computer and then install the apache http server. I got it. Server succesfully working...

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I checked netstat, other processes running, firewall and changed httpd.conf, stopped antivirus, But all my efforts were in vain. :(

So finally the solution was to stop the IIS. And it worked :)

I guess IIS and apache cant work together. If anybody know any work around let us know.
