Apache won't start

jnattey,
Given that you say you right clicked on the icon and clicked on start, are you running Apache on Windows? What version of Windows and what version of Apache?
Also, is there more information on the error (like an error code or more text)? Did you previously install IIS on your Windows box?

jnattey,
If you're running Windows XP, you can check the Event Log to get more info on the error.
If Apache consistently fails to start, I would assume that either another service (IIS) is binding to port 80, or your httpd.conf is not configured properly.

You said "After I installed the server, it was running then I right clicked on the icon and clicked on start, that's when i got that message and it has not started since". It was running when you clicked on Start? Do you have apache installed as a service or do you run it from a terminal window? Have you tried to restart it from the command line?

I looked in the error log and there was nothing. I am pretty sure I installed as service. I'll check when I get home. What is the proper way to disable IIS? Should I just uninstall everything(apache,php,mysql) and start all over? It is driving me crazy?
jnattey,
I wouldn't tear Apache/PHP/MySQL down quite yet.
Check on IIS first. Right-click My Computer, click manage, expand Services and Applications, click on Internet Information Services. If Web Sites shows "Service is Running" then IIS is most likely the problem.
