It appears something else is already listening on port 80 and as such Apache is unable to bind to that port. What happens when you do a "telnet localhost 80". Do you get connected? ----- Original Message ---- From: Mike - W0TMW <mikew@xxxxxxxxxx> To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 5:19:43 PM Subject: HTTPD won't start. Fails with error message. I'm building a server based on Fedora 7 and httpd won't start. I'm running out of space on another server and this one is intended as a replacement. I've looked through the archives, FAQs and while this issue is mentioned, that's all I can find---a mention with no help for resolution. The error is: Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.1.300:80 No listening sockets available, shutting down. Unable to open logs [Failed] I have another webserver that works just fine. The log directory have identical owners/groups permissions so there shouldn't a permissions problem for the logfiles. Plus the httpd.conf is identical. One works the other servers doesn't. Could anyone point me towards resolving this?
