apache 1.3 problems

Dill · 09-05-2004, 01:15 PM

Hey y'all.

I have just installed Fedora Core 1 a few days ago after finally getting a Netgear DG834 router. Now want to get my old apache server going again. Its all preinstalled etc, but when I try to start the service, it fails saying that the address is already in use and it then cant bind the address to 0.0.0.0:80.

My LAN ip is 192.168.0.2 and I have the router firewall forwarding http port 80 calls to my lan ip. I have checked the apache httpd.conf fine and its defined the addy ok (192.168.0.2), so I guess my question is, whats going on?

Should apache (1.3 btw) be listening to a different addy? Should I not be forwarding http calls to my lan addy?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

It sounds like it is already started - can you post the output from:
netstat -nlp | grep 80

heya, no output.

Code:

(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see all)

If I do it as root nothing happens.

I do know teh process is not already started as I ckecked that with Services.

Cheers,
Dill.

Try running:
/etc/init.d/httpd start

cheers, tried running that. Didnt work.

Found the problem though, there were three listen lines giving ip addresses with port numbes. I just fot rid of 2 lines and left one saying

Code:

Listen 80

.

Now its just my router not forwarding right....lol

Cheers for the input though,

Dill.
