Hello.
I just compiled a new apache server on my redhat 7.1. All the process went just fine. Now when I'm trying to start the service I'm gettting the folowing error:

highperformance-std.conf magic ssl-std.conf
[root@localhost httpd]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
Syntax error on line 289 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '10.1.1.10:80', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd could not be started

Well, I went to httpd.conf and instead of ServerName line added ip address of my local server. Why is it not starting I don't understand. Can anyone explain what should I do next.

Thats the part of my httpd.conf file...

# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
10.1.1.10:80

Herm I'm not sure but I don't think you should assign a port at this place

try 10.1.1.10 (without the :80)

there are another place in config where you can set your port.

make sure you read all the logs to get additional feedback, and look through generic httpd.conf provided with installation

looks like you deleted a bit... it should look like this...

#
# Server name comments here...
#
ServerName the.name.of.my.server:80

Of course you can have your servers IP address here if there is no DNS available.

The problem may be u forgot to enter the ServerName key jsut before the IP Adresss just try it , hope this works for u

Hello.
Thank you for all the anserws. Now I'm getting a diffrent error.

[root@localhost httpd]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd could not be started

I don't know what to do with it now...

Please help me out. Thank you.

Jakub,

Hello, I read that page... there is nathing about my problem... and I went through installation process just as is written down there. ;<<< I don't know what to do with it....

It still does the same problem

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd could not be started


:<<<
Hope to hear something from you guys.

Jakub.

Well, I just changed the port # on which apache should listen from 80 to 10000 and httpd started with no any problems... I think that it is sort of the socket is locked or something like that. I am really confused now... can someone please help me.... I was running the old version of apache before... Meaby thats what couses all trouble. I did get rid of all apache rpmS from before...

Well, when I placed port 80 back on again it still shows me that problem again. Can someone please help me out ?

Thank you.

Jakub

Bingo.

The RPM are for installing the package not running it. Your old version of apache is still runnning and is using port 80. You need to stop it from starting. check in inetd.conf or xinetd.conf and the rc.d for start scripts. perhaps you have it in rc.local or boot.local?

hello,
I'm sorry for confusing you by saying "get rid of rpmS". I meant I did uninstall old apache using command rpm -e apache 1.3*****.
Old apache does not exist on my system anymore. New version of it was compiled and installed. Now I can turn it on only on diffrent ports than 80. When I did command
ps -ef | grep httpd
Did not show any httpd process running at hat time....I also scaned port 80 if any aplication is using it currently .... nothing showed up.

[root@localhost httpd]# fuser -vn tcp 80
[root@localhost httpd]#
Well, I don't know what to do with this problem anymore. Can someone please help me ?


this is the error_log

Hello again...
fuser -vn tcp 80 nothing showed up
ps -ef | grep httpd > nothing showed up
netstat tcp 0 0 *:http *:* LISTEN
lsof -i | grep httpd >>>nothing

well I don't know what to do next with it... DO I HAVE TO COMPILE new kernel ?

Thank you.

Jakub

did u try your firewall settings!??

as root type: 'setup' and go into firewall options...
also check ur router if u got one ;-)

I solved a problem long time ago. I dont use no redhat. I prefer slackware. I will never go back to rh. )
thank you.
