I went through your suggested procedure, and after turning off apache, the
ps -ef|grep httpd|grep -v grep command did not show any instances of httpd running on the system.

so.... you may try to find out who is using/blocking port 443 AFTER you stopped the httpd-server you started by yourself.

STOP httpd: "service httpd stop" (or what else you use)
check port 443: "lsof -i TCP:443"

what you konsole shows now, is the programm, that is blocking the port appache would need so hard.

if lsof shows anything up, than you should kill this process by

"pkill processname"
OR
"kill -9 PID"
(.... ok ... it's not a gentle way, but it should work)

btw: if you have just one set of apache-binaries in /usr/sbin-Directory does NOT mean, that there can just be ONE apache-instance running.
you also have just one /usr/bin/konsole-binary, but you can start this binary as much often as you like.

I solved the problem with the redirect. I had a hunch that the iptables file had a syntax error with port 80. I checked it out, and there was indeed such an error. Once I corrected it and restarted the daemon. The redirect worked.

hi..

I'm running Apache 2.0.55 on kubuntu.. and I'm trying to redirect traffic on port 80 to 443... I viewed many suggestions... the problem is I'm not finding the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (neither the folders httpd and conf)... what shall I do?

Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Your configuration files for apache are somewhere else. If Apache is running try...

$ ps -ef | grep httpd

This will show you any httpd processing running. The command line will most likely give you an indication of where you should be looking for the configuration. Check to see if there is an /etc/apache2 directory, the name may be slightly different to the one you expect.

Regards,
Jim
