Apache2 Binding Issue

Krayons · 06-06-2011, 07:00 AM

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get apache to listen to specific IP address and I have read up of the listen command (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html)

I can get virtual sites to work but not the apache it self.
Any idea in which config file to correct this.

Thanks in Advance
Kyle

you need to show us the config files and such. In what way is it not working? You actually listen on a port by setting the Listen directive, which isn't virtualhost specific.

In /etc/apache2/

I have

apache2.conf
httpd.conf
mods-available
sites-enabled
conf.d
httpd.conf.save
mods-enabled
envvars
magic
ports.conf
sites-available

Now if I add <Listen My_IP:Port> to
apache2.conf
I get:
httpd not running, trying to start
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down

somethings already on that port. Maybe another instance of apache.

A list of filenames is really really not useful. It's the contents that are useful.

It works perfectly when I remove the <Listen My_IP:Port>

Here are the contents

Thanks for your help so far.

right so you're defining a listen twice, so it's the same process that's already listening. I'm not at all familiar with this layout for apache config files, I would only suggest putting the Listen in the main apache2.conf, which I know as httpd.conf.
