Or you don't have working DNS. If you have a DNS server, then your computer's IP address and hostname should be programmed into it. Otherwise, you can enter the information into your /etc/hosts file. Have a look at the file, and "man hosts", for how it's used. > (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 > (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 > no listening sockets available, shutting down > Unable to open logs > [FAILED] Which does sound like, either something else is already running on port 80, or perhaps you have a SELinux restriction on web serving, or you weren't the root user (which I see is the case, by your subsequent post). For future reference, running the following command line will show if something's already running. Look for an address followed by :80 in the local address column. netstat -antvp And the end column would name the program. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
