[users@httpd] Start up problems : could not bind to address
Hi
I have downloaded and built apache 2.0.45
(<http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/infosystems/WWW/servers/apache/httpd/httpd-2.0.45.tar.gz>httpd-2.0.45.tar.gz
) and am using Redhat 8.0 kernel version 2.4.18.
When I try to run 'apachectl start' I get the following message :
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 127.0.0.1:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
The error occurs when I run as root and myself and whether the Listen
directive is 80 or 127.0.0.1:80.
Does anyone know what might be happening here ?
Does it mean there is something else bound to port 80 ? and if so how do I
find out what ? and how do I change it ?
Cheers
Larry

Check if port 80 is not been used by any other application.

What user are your restarting apache as ? root or some other user.
> Does anyone know what might be happening here ?
The error could be result of either:
1. Insufficient privileges.
2. 80 port already been used up by some other daemon.
3. Incorrect configurations.

You can check if some other daemon is bound to 80 port by using: nmap
machinname. Which should provide you with the active port used. check for
port 80. Most probably apache which comes with RH8 is already running which
could be stopped by /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop.
Also cross check your ErrorLog and CustomLog directive in your httpd.conf.
And see if the logs file exist and have correct permissions.
Hope this helps.
