[users@httpd] 'Listen' directive not working properly?

[K a z <ik...@hotmail.com>]

I've used apache for awhile, and am no stranger to UNIX. But I'm having a 
really bad time trying to use the "Listen" directive.

I am trying to setup a couple different apache servers. One is a no-frills 
slimmed down apache server thats intended to serve static pages fast.

The other has all the bells & whistles (mod_php, mod_perl, openSSL etc).

I am using name based virts on both machines. I am trying to "bind" some ip 
addresses to one server and some ip addressess to the other.
Let's not even worry about the other server though, as I cant get past the 
first part.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

(Real Ips foobar'ed to protect the innocent) ;)

Listen 11.22.33.227:80
Listen 11.22.33.228:80
Listen 11.22.33.229:80
Listen 11.22.33.233:80

Then later down by the virts I have:

NameVirtualHost *
and starting each virt set with a <virtualhost *>

Now, WITHOUT the 'Listen' entries, the server will run fine.. but it will be 
bound to ALL interfaces/ips on the machine. But what I am trying to do is 
SPECIFIY the ip's that THIS apache server should be listening on.

Anyway when I do it WITH the Listen statements above, I get the following 
critical error in the logs:

[crit] (49)Can't assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to 
address 11.22.33.233 port 80

(basically it will report the LAST one... if I only have ONE 'Listen 
ip:port' entry, then it will have the error message above with that ip, 
ortherwise it will report the last one.

Any suggestions here?

Problem is with two apache trying to listen on same IP. I suppose ur another
apache is also listening on 11.22.33.233 port 80 which is causing problem. 2
Apaches cannot listen on same IPS and same ports. Just comment out the line
containing:

Listen 11.22.33.233:80

and apache will work fine. Please also specify which ips and ports do u want
individual apaches to listen at in case of further problems.

Regards,
Nikunj
