Apache can't bind to [::]:443?

[hcyuan]

I'm running Novell OES (which is technically SuSE Linux Server 9) and we had Apache2 working on the server. We wanted to add a Virtual Host Server, so we figured the best way to do it was to install Webmin. We downloaded Webmin and then logged in. Changed some of it's module to point to the location of our Apache2 server directory and were able to get into the Apache2 module for Webmin. We then went to create the Virtual Host and tried to restart the Apache2 server, which gave us an error. So then I deleted the Virtual Host to set everything back to the way it was and tried reloading Apache2 again and I got:

Starting httpd2 (worker) (98) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Now, I've removed Webmin and looked through most of my config files, but the Apache2 still would not load. Every time I try to load it, I get the same error about binding to [::]:443.

I do a netstat -lpn | grep ':443' and nothing shows up. So there's nothing listening on 443 that I know of. If I edit my listen.conf file and rem out the 443 portion, then Apache2 loads. So it has something to do with that port.

Anybody know where I should look to see what's messing it up? I believe Webmin messed something up when I installed it, but I'm not sure what it did.

Oh, another thing that we've tried already is putting back all our old configurations (we had a backup of the Apache2 folder,) and we still get the same error. So...yeah...I don't know what else to look for. Any ideas? Thanx in advance!

	#   SSL Engine Options:
	#   Set various options for the SSL engine.
	#   o FakeBasicAuth:
	#     Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation.  This means that
	#     the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control.  The
	#     user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 certificate.
	#     Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user
	#     file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.
	#   o ExportCertData:
	#     This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and
	#     SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the
	#     server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client
	#     authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates
	#     into CGI scripts.
	#   o StdEnvVars:
	#     This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.
	#     Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons,
	#     because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually
	#     useless for serving static content. So one usually enables the
	#     exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.
	#   o CompatEnvVars:
	#     This exports obsolete environment variables for backward compatibility
	#     to Apache-SSL 1.x, mod_ssl 2.0.x, Sioux 1.0 and Stronghold 2.x. Use this
	#     to provide compatibility to existing CGI scripts.
	#   o StrictRequire:
	#     This denies access when "SSLRequireSSL" or "SSLRequire" applied even
	#     under a "Satisfy any" situation, i.e. when it applies access is denied
	#     and no other module can change it.
	#   o OptRenegotiate:
	#     This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
	#     directives are used in per-directory context. 
	#SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth +ExportCertData +CompatEnvVars +StrictRequire

	#   SSL Protocol Adjustments:
	#   The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
	#   approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
	#   the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown
	#   approach you can use one of the following variables:
	#   o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
	#     This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
	#     SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received.  This violates
	#     the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
	#     this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
	#     mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
	#   o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
	#     This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
	#     SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
	#     alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
	#     practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
	#     this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
	#     works correctly. 
	#   Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
	#   keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
	#   keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.
	#   Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
	#   their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and
	#   "force-response-1.0" for this.
	SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
		 nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
		 downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

	#   Per-Server Logging:
	#   The home of a custom SSL log file. Use this when you want a
	#   compact non-error SSL logfile on a virtual host basis.
	CustomLog /var/log/apache2/ssl_request_log   ssl_combined

You failed to specify a binding ip address.

Change this line

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

to

<VirtualHost [b]Your server IP address[/b]:443>

http://mbrooks.info

 

[hcyuan]

Is there a way to let it bind to all address? Well...most of it. I would like those pages to load for localhost, the private, and public side of the address. I have two public address that needs port 443 but to load up different pages.

I thought _default_ would be a catch all?

 

[hcyuan]

I changed _default_:443 to <ip>:443 and then tried to loading Apache2 again and I got the same error message still. What else should I try?

 

[mbrooks]

This must be configured as well

ServerAlias [b]www.example.com[/b]:443
ServerName [b]example.com[/b]:443
ServerAdmin webmaster@[b]example.com[/b]

I configured those three and yet I still get the same error.

#       putting its name into APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in 
#       /etc/sysconfig/apache2 -- this will make system updates

That is about the most pitiful looking httpd.conf I have ever seen. If you take out all the commented stuff, there is really nothing left. If I were apache, I'd be acting stupid too. ;-) Here is a copy of mine. You may have to make some edits if the paths are different from yours but for the most part, it is rready to go. There are no vhosts defined because I keep them in a file called vhosts.conf.

#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:[URL unfurl="true"]http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/>[/URL] for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:[URL unfurl="true"]http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>[/URL]
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
#  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
#     whole (the 'global environment').
#  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
#     which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
#     These directives also provide default values for the settings
#     of all virtual hosts.
#  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
#     different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
#     same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/etc/httpd/logs/foo.log".
#

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
ServerAdmin root@localhost

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated
# redirections will not work.  See also the UseCanonicalName directive.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
# You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make 
# redirections work in a sensible way.
#
ServerName localhost

#
# UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing 
# URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.
# When set "Off", Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied
# by the client.  When set "On", Apache will use the value of the
# ServerName directive.
#
UseCanonicalName Off

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/html"[/URL]

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories). 
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of 
# features.  
#

# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow

# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",

# doesn't give it to you.

#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
# The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be
# accessible to the webserver userid.  This usually means that ~userid
# must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions
# of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable.
# Otherwise, the client will only receive a "403 Forbidden" message.

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents.  The MultiViews Option can be used for the 
# same purpose, but it is much slower.

# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#

#
# HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses
# e.g., [URL unfurl="true"]www.apache.org[/URL] (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).
# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people

#
# EnableMMAP: Control whether memory-mapping is used to deliver
# files (assuming that the underlying OS supports it).
# The default is on; turn this off if you serve from NFS-mounted

#
# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here.  If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
#
ErrorLog logs/error_log

#
# LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.

#LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %I %O" combinedio

#
# The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format).
# If you do not define any access logfiles within a <VirtualHost>
# container, they will be logged here.  Contrariwise, if you *do*
# define per-<VirtualHost> access logfiles, transactions will be
# logged therein and *not* in this file.
#
#CustomLog logs/access_log common

#
# If you would like to have separate agent and referer logfiles, uncomment
# the following directives.
#
#CustomLog logs/referer_log referer
#CustomLog logs/agent_log agent

#
# For a single logfile with access, agent, and referer information

#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory

# documents or custom error documents).
# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
# Set to one of:  On | Off | EMail
#
ServerSignature On

#
# Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is 
# Alias fakename realname
#
# Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL.  So "/icons" isn't aliased in this
# example, only "/icons/".  If the fakename is slash-terminated, then the

#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location

#
# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:

#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html[/URL]
#

#
# Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.
#
# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to
# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections.  We use 
# includes to substitute the appropriate text.
#
# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the
# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:
#
#   Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"
#
# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:[URL unfurl="true"]http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>[/URL]
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier 
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /[URL unfurl="true"]www/docs/dummy-host.example.com[/URL]
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

I figure it was small because of all the includes in it...but who knows. I'll go compare them and see what I can port over.

 

[RhythmAce]

I bet you're right. I looked over your httpd.conf again and I see what you mean. My conf.d directory has 25 files but your includes seem to be all over the place. If everything checks out, I'd suspect that the problem is using named based addressing with ssl. I think you need to use ip based addressing for those. You might try removing the .conf extention off of the file that has you ssl vhosts. This should allow apache to start and test you regular vhosts. Once you know they are working, Create your ssl vhosts in their own .conf file. In all cases, the ip address and port need to be specified in the vhost container as explained by mbrooks.

 

[hcyuan]

Here's the weird thing. In my vhosts.d folder, there's only one file it's including, which is vhost-ssl.conf. There's no other files.

If I remark out the line that includes the vhost directory in httpd and add "Listen 443," I get the same exact error.

I've done searches in netstat and there's nothing coming up. What exactly does this error mean anyways? Anyway I can get more information on it?

 

[RhythmAce]

Apache wants to bind to port 80 by default. It is getting confused by the way the port 80 vhosts and and the 443 vhosts are defined. It doesn't like _default_:443 for sure. Rename your vhost-ssl.conf to something else so apache will start. In your vhosts.d directory, you should have a vhost.conf. This file should have all your regular port 80 vhost containers. For example, each container will look like this:

  <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.org
    DocumentRoot /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain/html[/URL]
    ServerName domain.org
    ErrorLog /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain/logs/error_log[/URL]
    CustomLog /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain/logs/acess_log[/URL] common


    <Directory "/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain/html">[/URL]

       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all

    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain/cgi-bin/"[/URL]

    <Directory "/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/domain/cgi-bin">[/URL]
       AllowOverride None
       Options None
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Of course you would change the paths and other info to match each domain. Make sure you have NameVirtualHost *:80 uncommented or that it exists in the globals. When mixing both ssl and regular vhosts, you must specify the port. Once you have your regular vhosts working rename your vhost-ssl.conf back to its original name and replace <VirtualHost _default_:443> with the ip address that belongs to this particular domain. In order for apache to handle both types of vhosts, it needs handle them differently. If it thinks you are trying to define an ssl vhost using conventional name based addressing, it will fail as it has and give you the error message you are receiving.

 

[hcyuan]

I definitely found something weird going on. I commented out the Listen 443 from Listen.conf and left the vhost-ssl.conf intact. After doing that, I was able to load Apache2, and indeed one of my site is binding to https.

But checking through vhost-ssl.conf, I did not find anything that bind to the name address that's taking 443. So it seems like I have entries that's making them try to bind 443 to the same addresses.

I am going to try what you suggested, which also brings about another weird thing. In my vhost.d folder, I do not have any plain old vhost.conf files. Only vhost-ssl.conf. So...more weirdness to play with.

 

[hcyuan]

Man, this isn't cool. I rem'd out the Listen 443 lines. I've removed the vhost-ssl.conf files. And yet...somehow somewhere, it's stilling binding to 443...somewhere in my httpd, it's binding! AHHHH~!!!

 

[RhythmAce]

I'm at a total loss. It quit being an apache issue and turned into an SuSE issue. They have everything in different cofig file in different directories so the average apache user can't help you unless he knows your setup. Just think, if you would have deleted everything and installed fedora, you would be cruisin' right now. ;-) My guess is that webmin created this mess by configuring the _default_:443 vhost. It may have created it in some funky place. Did you try to delete that vhost before you got rid of webmin? If you can't find it, maybe you can reinstall webmin and have it delete all the vhosts it created.

 

[hcyuan]

You know...that's not a bad idea. I know that it wasn't working when I used webmin to create my vhost, but before I did that, there were two listed already.

Maybe that's what I need to do. I'll keep you posted.

P.S. this is the older version of SuSE. 9.x. I like the 10.1 version and 10.2 should be coming out soon.

 

[hcyuan]

Alright, so after dropping this project for awhile to clear my head, I finally fixed it. I went back into WebMin, went to the Network Address portion and round and removed an option that tells it to listen on that address and port. The line must've been in httpd.conf, but I was searching for the DNS name instead of the IP address.

I finally realize that even though you tell it to listen on an IP address, when you do a netstat -a, it lists it listening on a DNS name instead. Tricky tricky. But I got it now. Thanx to RhythmAce and MBrooks for their help.
