[SOLVED] reverse proxy not starting on centos leading to (98)Address already in use...

Hello

I added a proxy.conf to a new install of a httpd proxy.
This proxy.conf had an ssl/reverse proxy configuration.

As I don't want the ssl for now, I deleted all the SSL configuration.

Than, I ran:

Code:

service httpd start

I get:

Code:

Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

In the /var/log/msg, I get:

Code:

[Wed Oct 23 15:07:09 2013] [notice] SELinux policy enabled; httpd running as context unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0
[Wed Oct 23 15:07:09 2013] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)

and no httpd process are running (a jboss beside though).

Do you have an idea on what's could be wrong?

Thank you so much for your help

can you prove that it's not already running? What does "netstat -plnt | grep 80" say?

I had 2:

Code:

Listen 80

One was in the conf/httpd.conf, the other in conf.d/proxy.conf.

I commented the one in conf.d/proxy.conf.

I will re use it to bind into 443.

Thank you for your insigh.
