RE: Getting port 80 error even though listening on different port

["Muggeridge, Matt" <matt.muggeridge2@xxxxxxx>]

You don’t say what is listening on port 80.  I’d first stop Apache httpd and then check the ports you want to use are free:

 

lsof -i:80 -i:8080

 

This should return nothing.

 

Watch the Apache httpd error log, as specified in your “ErrorLog” directive; I suggest using “tail -f <errorlog_filename>”, then start Apache httpd, and repeat the lsof command.

I've modified the Listen directive in httpd.conf to listen on port 8080 instead of 80 but Apache still won't start, with the error that port 80 is blocked.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks.
