RE: syntax error (Apache Users)

This is the complete config file for you to browse:-

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the

# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.

# In particular, see

# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>

# for a discussion of each configuration directive.

# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure

# consult the online docs. You have been warned.

# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many

# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the

# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin

# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"

# with ServerRoot set to "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2" will be interpreted by the

# server as "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log".

# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes

# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").

# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which httpd.exe is located

# will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply

# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion.

# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's

# configuration, error, and log files are kept.

# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point

# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive

# at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple

# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.

ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"

# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

# directive.

# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to

# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.

#Listen 82.19.185.246

Listen 80

It sounds like (at least) two problems:

1) You may already have another web server, e.g. IIS bound to port 80.

The simplest solution is to stop the competing service, or assign it to another port.

If you can't do this, you have several options, including:

a) Add another IP address to your host PC, and then assign one IP address to each web server

Apache tries to bind to port 80 on all IP addresses by default. To prevent this, tell it which IP address to use with the listen directive like this:

Listen 192.168.0.1:80

You can use more than one listen directive if you need to bind more than one IP address or port.

b) Change the port for the competing web service, and then use apache to reverse proxy the service via a name based virtual host and mod proxy

2) You may have specified a name based virtual host, but not specified ServerName for each virtual host.

I could be more certain if you posted the httpd.conf file in its entirety.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Ok status update....

I have changed the SeverRoot to reflect the change as mentioned below but I now get the following error :-

Httpd.exe : could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain name, using {IP ADDRESS REMOVED FOR SECURITY} for server name

<OS 10048>only one usage of each socket address <protocol/network address/port> is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not

What am I doing wrong??

Again many thanks in advance

Hi James,

It sounds like the ServerRoot directive has been amended to point to the location of the website being hosted. It should point at the location where apache is installed.

For example, in a default install on windows, it looks like this:

ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"

This directive tells the server where to put the configuration, error and log files.

Regards,

Simon (sga101)

Hello again, it’s me. (oh boy i hear you groan, lol)

I have setup apache to use my pc as a local server by typing localhost in the sever and domain sections during setup. Now when I run apache i get the following error :-

Httpd.exe : syntax error on line 60 of c:/program files/Apahe software foundation/apache 2.2/con/httpd.conf:

Cannot load c:/website/module/mod_actions.so into server: The specified module could not be found.

What if anything am I doing wrong, or am I just missing a simple step out somewhere.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks (so far to)
