[Tue Jan 20 13:45:29 2004] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80

This is the error message i get when i start my httpd service.

this server seems to serve to the local subnet only. it won't serve to the public URL that points to it yet i can ping

Any help would be great

Something is already running on port 80. Did apache fail to shutdown properly? Is http traffic being forwarded to the server's local ip from the router?

When I run service httpd restart it says "stopping httpd [fail] Starting httpd [ok] I guess it isn't shutting down right. Traffic is forwarding to the box from my router when I run tcpdump port 80 I do see Bi-directional traffic from an external host hitting port 80. htis is a brand new box and I installed RH7.3 and have never seen this much info in an httpd.conf file. I don't remeber it having this much info. Thanks for the help

IF its a new install of redhat its probably loading apache at startup.

Do this

telnet localhost 80

then after the connection is made do:

GET / HEAD (two returns)

This will tell you the version of apache running. I think you are already running apache out of the box.

Got it the problem was with the Listen statements I had in the httpd.conf file. Everything appears to be running right now. Thanks for the help
