Thanks Nilesh, I tried ; command : sudo /sbin/service httpd restart Error message : Stopping httpd: [FAILED] Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 <http://0.0.0.0/> <http://0.0.0.0:80 <http://0.0.0.0/>> no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs [FAILED] I compiled httpd server is myself on CentOS 5.4, I did not make any alterations to /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd. Thanks -RR Check if rpm -q httpd gives some response ? If it does, you've found the bug. There are two versions of httpd installed in your OS. One is compiled by you and one installed by yum. Now what is happening that, your compiled version I suppose located at /usr/local/apache2, is started somehow, whereas the yum version isn't running. Now when you try to issue commands to apache using /etc/rc.d scripts or the service command, it will try to start apache from /usr/sbin instead of /usr/local/apache2/bin and that's why you are getting this error. Your apache (compiled) daemon is already listening on port 80, and the init script tries to bind it. The only solution to this is you remove yum's edition using: yum remove httpd This _will_ remove /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd as well. You will have to use /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl to control the apache daemon. Thanks Nilsesh again for quick response. Command : sudo rpm -q httpd Response : httpd-2.2.3-31.el5.centos.4 yes you are right; my compiled version is installed under /usr/local/Apache2 I will remove the compiled version and let you know the results. Thanks again! -RR
Do not remove the compiled version !The version provided by CentOS is very old and *may* contain a lot of security holes and other bugs.
