Hi Guys,

I am trying to start httpd service in my Linux system, but it is showing me the below error.

Hi@akhtar,

I think port no. is busy. Some other program is using this port no. You need to find out what program is occupying port 80. You can use the below-given command to find out the status of port 80.

$ netstat -tnlp | grep :80

Then kill that process and restart the apache service.
