Hello ppl,I intend to run apache httpd, on a server, which creates an alias(when it is up), on the default port 80. When the server is down, I still want httpd to run but on a different port. I can do that, again with the port/Listen directive.
My problem is the IP. When the server is UP, I want apache to listen on the alias that i created. But if the alias duznt exist, I want it to listen on INADDR_ANY.I tried putting in both the IPs, viz, the alias and INADDR_ANY(in fact, also tried an actual IP on the machine) in two Listen directives.
If the alias exists, apache duz start the httpd. But if it duznt, it simply exits, giving a bind error:Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address <alias IP>.
Is there any way to tell apache to check the existence of the IP, if not do something else.
Any ideas anyone? -- Benjamin Jacob.
