im running CentOS 5.5 and tried to install ISP Config but im getting the following error on bootup and when i try to start the service. I have use netstat and nmap i think its called to see if those ports are being use but they are being listed. Can anyone help with this.

httpd failed. The error was: Starting httpd: [Sun Jan 16 19:46:10 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 000.000.00.000:8080
no listening sockets available, shutting down

Something is already bound to port 8080. Try this instead, to find out what:

Hello,

lsof is a good one but a personally prefer to use "netstat -ntap |grep LISTEN" on Linux.
If this port is listed on the response, check what is the program holding it and identify it's PID so you can kill -9 if required.
This info is at the end of the line. Ex: 9999/apache

You can also paste the output of your command here (if not too big).

Hi thank you for your help but this hasnt helped if i type in lsof -i tcp:8080 at the terminal prompt it doesnt show anything just a new prompt line to start typing something else. I did try to restart apache after this and still the same error.

I also tried the suggestion of putting in netstat -ntap |grep LISTEN" and below is the response but no port 8080 listed

Seems to me there is a problem with your virtual hosts.
Make sure the config is correct.

Kind regards

Agree,

Is this apache config file the default config file? Because really looks like something is wrong.
