From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: At system boot up httpd starts just fine but when I want to restart it i get: Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.0.40-20 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the machine with apache 2. Run service httpd restart 3. Actual Results: Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Expected Results: It should have restarted as usual. Additional info:
After a failed restart, what is the output of: # tail /var/log/httpd/error_log # netstat -pant | grep :80
[root@wonka root]# netstat -pant | grep :80 tcp 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1180/ppp-watch This is the only line that's added to error_log [Wed Sep 10 21:57:21 2003] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down When killing pppd and ppp-watch httpd starts normaly. Why would ppp-watch bind to port 80? I have initscripts-6.95-1 installed.
I'm not familiar with ppp-watch, is it acting as configured?
I have not touched it. I don't really know what it is more than what the man page sais. All configuration of ppp is done via redhat-config-network. I guess it's started from ifup scripts.
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs. Closing as "not a bug" for now.
