Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me with this problem.

I dont know for what reason, I started having this message whenever I try to start httpd.
I commented "Listen 443", restarted httpd started correctly.

I issued "lsof -iTCP:443", I get

Quote:

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
httpd 6145 root 11u IPv6 282246 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)
httpd 6147 apache 11u IPv6 282246 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)

httpd 6156 apache 11u IPv6 282246 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)

I can not understand where this come from and why. It seems that it is IPV6 protocol which is in fact not enabled on the network card.

Also, I can not find or dont know where 443 is configured apart from ssl.conf or httpd.conf
Today, I have added xrdp applications in order to be able to connect using RDP.
Thanks for your help

It means you already started apache. Stop it. Then does lsof return anything? No? Start apache.
