It's a good point, but changing the default httpd.conf in an erratum is somewhat annoying since the new file would be created as httpd.conf.rpmnew for anyone who updated. Certainly just to fix a comment, it's not worth it... so I'll just mark this CLOSED->CURRENTRELEASE since the httpd.conf shipping in RHEL3 doesn't have this issue. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922 Description of problem: When configuring a server to only listen to port 80 on the loopback interface using 'Listen 127.0.0.1:80' this causes the following error at startup: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 127.0.0.1 port 80 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.27-6.ent How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Edit httpd.conf and add the Listen line shown above 2. Start server 3. Actual Results: Server fails to start - error appears in syslog Expected Results: Server start Additional info: This is caused by the repeat Listen directive at line 397. Comment this out and things should be fine. The problem is really one of the way the httpd.conf file is commented - the commented listen directives at line 175 give no indication that there is an uncommented directive at 397.
