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