HTTPD Fail to START

[vhoover]

the HTTP daemon won't start and as a result the nagios gui is unavailable. When attempting to start the daemon I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

What command are you using to start the httpd daemon? Does a service httpd restart clear it? It definitely sounds like something is already taking port 80, possibly the httpd process is already running?

When attempting to clear it I get a failed message. Attached is the output from the service stop, start, restart, & the netstat command.

Try and force httpd to stop by running the following.

Code: Select all

killall -9 httpd

After that, make sure the pid file is removed from the system. Run this to remove it.

Code: Select all

rm /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid

Then start httpd

Code: Select all

service httpd start

Take a look in the /var/log/httpd/error_log file if this fails.

That solved it, thanks. I will make note of this, should (knock on wood) happen again.

That is good to hear. I'll close the post for you.
