apache2 no socket
 

New to Debian Sarge 3.1 and its Apache2 configuration.
Can anyone help with the problem described below?

lt:/home/rene# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
Stopping web server: Apache2 ... no pidfile found! not running?.
lt:/home/rene# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Starting web server: Apache2(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
lt:/home/rene#

Thank you for your help.

Looks like you've got something else serving on port 80.
Try this as an example:

Thank you. Here is the result.
My knowledge is not good enough to make sense of it.

lt:/home/rene# netstat -tap | grep www
tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 3 740/apache-perl
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.13:35059 72.14.203.104:www ESTABLISHED2 420/mozilla-bin
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.13:35058 72.14.203.104:www ESTABLISHED2 420/mozilla-bin

OK, so you already have a webserver running.
My guess would be that you have apache 1.x installed.
Are you sure you want that?
Either stop/kill the server and/or uninstall it.

Yes, that was the problem, I Installed Apache1.3.perl thinking I was installing a module for Apache2 (failing to read properly what I was doing).

Thank you for the help.
