Hai jeff
The map server and apache running on same machine.

Then Apache httpd can't listen on port 8888, and it can't affect requests which are sent directly to the map server.

This error appears when i tried to restart apache

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8888 
no listening sockets available, shutting down

is the map server running on the same machine on port 8888?  you can't have both Apache httpd and the map server listening on the same address and port

I had a map server running at port 8888. I tried to do a Redirect so that a direct access of the map server from remote is redirected. The sites-available/domain_name file is

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName domain_name
            ...
</VirtualHost>

Listen *:8888 http
<VirtualHost *:8888>
    ServerName domain_name
    Redirect permanent / http://domain_name/
        ...
</VirtualHost>

Is there a way to avoid this error and restart the apache server.
