Aziz, there is something running at port 80 on your system. check for other services and servers installed on your system and shut down the on the said port.

It means there is some other program on your computer running on port 80. I personally have the following shortcut in my ~/.bash_profile to analyze these sort of things:

alias ports="sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P"

If you run it by itself, you should see something along the lines of (assuming you are running MacOS. If not Google, how to find the ports of running processes for your machine):

enter image description here

On the right side, the ports of each process is shown. You can then do kill {PID} (e.g. kill 4749 would kill my Spotify instance) to kill the process running on port 80 (make sure it's something you aren't actually using).

I should add, however, than there are very few times that you might want to use port 80 locally. It's better to use 8080 or something else, and only on deployment use 80.
