My OS is WinXP with SP2. I tried 2.0.50 and 2.0.52 and apache_1.3.29-win32-x86-no_src.exe,It's the same. the error.log shows: [Fri Oct 29 18:12:36 2004] [error] Parent: child process exited with status 3 - - Aborting. [Fri Oct 29 18:12:36 2004] [notice] Parent: Created child process 844 [Fri Oct 29 18:12:36 2004] [notice] Child 844: Child process is running [Fri Oct 29 18:12:36 2004] [crit] (OS 10022)提供了一个无效的参数。 : Child 844: setup_inherited_listeners(), WSASocket failed to open the inherited socket. the middle word is Chinese,means 'An invalid argument was supplied'. and i cann't open the http://localhost. I does not install IIS or WinGate or any anti-virus software. I tried to change the port to 90 or 8080 close the firewall and close the most services. and Windowsupdate(included WindowsXP-KB884020). without any help. Thanks a lot.
I searched and got one finally. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31765 and the last comment says 'Apache/XP-SP2 interaction problem isn't resolved; re-opening'. waiting for the fix or new Apache.
