apache start error

akurtis · 12-02-2003, 07:18 PM

when i start apache i get this error

httpd failed. The error was: Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
[FAILED]
how do i remedy this?
Thanks
Alex

Looks like there is already something bound to port 80. Check the output of netstat and look for an http entry. An entry for http will show up if something is already boud to 80. Also check for an instance of apache already running ps -ef | grep http

Try to connect to port 80 with telnet and if it connects submit a bogus command.

Code:

telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
dummy

See if there is any output.

akurtis · 12-02-2003, 10:34 PM

i run that and get this

[root@www root]# telnet www.theusefulnet.com 80
Trying 69.10.134.196...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[root@www root]#

My server is the usefulnet.com, not localhost, and the ip it tries to connect to is that of the DNS server that i have, zoneedit.com.

Thanks
Alex

localhost will always work if you are on the machine you are trying to connect to. Either try to telnet to localhost or the IP address of your machine.

akurtis · 12-02-2003, 11:14 PM

i try to connect to localhost and it says
localhost: unknown host
then i tried this
[root@www root]# telnet 192.168.1.1 80
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1).

[root@www root]# telnet 12.229.226.160 80
