Re: HTTPD won't start. Fails with error message.

I added a second NIC with an IP of 192.168.1.5.

That worked!  Eventually, I want to have a VirtualHost on that IP with 

another on x.x.x.30.

Now why is x.x.x.30 failing?  lsof -i:80 shows only the 2nd NIC 

(x.x.x.5) using port 80.

Could there simply not be enough sockets configured?  This, so far, is a 

pretty stock Fedora 7 system.

Any other ideas why x.x.x.30 is failing?

Despite netstat not showing anything on port 80, for sanity sake have
you tried changing the bind address to something else, perhaps an

obscure port?

Now that I'm staring at this.  I see that I've a different IP address on
eth0.  However, I still get the same error message with

Listen   80

in httpd.conf than if I specified the IP.

 I fat fingered it when I wrote the e-mail.  Here's the LISTEN 

statement  in httpd

 Listen     192.168.1.200:80

 In this particular config, I'm not using VirtualHost.  They are  

commented out.  I simplified the config greatly trying to find the  

problem.

What happens when you do a "telnet localhost 80". Do you get

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 

directories

 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?
