I am using the command

sudo apachectl start

to start the server but I get the following error

(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

no listening sockets available, shutting down

Another service is running on the port 80. Check the service by execute this command: sudo lsof -i :80 Stop the service before you run start the apachectl.

had the same thing this morning, out of the blue.. I found that running :

sudo /Applications/AMPPS/apache/bin/apachectl start

at least gave me some info :

AH00544: httpd: bad group name administration

so I typed (in terminal)

groups

to see which groups were available and found that there is no administration group but there is admin group

so I went into httpd.conf and found the user/groups config section and changed accordingly and -surprise!- apache started!

Have a read of this blog post

It sounds like you're not seeing the same "silent terminating" thing, but maybe you have a similar problem, that with Maveriks superfluous "Listen 80" line in another config file will now trip up apache. So check if you have a config file under /etc/apache2/users , and also check VirtualHosts which maybe configured in /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf (or try temporarily disabling these)

Official Bug Fix is here, so you can manage it from UI.

Also sudo apachectl start/stop is for apache bundled with Mac OS X.

Type the whole path as suggested by Daniel above.

With AMPPS or any other app, you can run it through Terminal:

Start $ sudo /Applications/AMPPS/apache/bin/apachectl start

Stop $ sudo /Applications/AMPPS/apache/bin/apachectl stop

Here is what u can do.

Make sure the server is turned on with sudo ( root ) but I assume this is going just fine since u are using sudo in your start post.

The other way to solve this is to check in your

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

And change the listen port from 80 into 8080 or anything greater than 1024
