       Hi
       I installed Apache/2.2.13 (Unix) on CentOS 5.4. My prolbem is
       that when
       I try to start and stop it using "sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
       start /
       stop / restart"
       It gives me the following, I googgled a lot but could not really
       find a
       solution.
       1.Command : $ sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
       Error Message :

       Can sombody help me on this please?
       Thanks!

   Some other process is already running at port number 80. Use netstat
   -ltnp | grep ':80' to get the process name and pid.

  Thanks Nilesh, netstat reveals the following :
    tcp        0      0 :::80
:::*                        LISTEN      2056/httpd
    Strange thing I notice is that start / stop / restart fails, but
service is still started, I am just curious if service is failed to
start (as error message explains) how come it is started at the first
place?
    To my view a command 'stop / restart' should kill a started process
and free the port '80' and next initialization should get the  port
without any error.
    My http configuration have 'Listen 80'
    Not much into linux stuff. Forgive me if I am wrong somehere and
correct me please.
    Thanks for your help.

Try using the /sbin/service command instead of this.

Also, your httpd is self compiled or installed using yum ?

And did you make any alterations (or created) /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd ?

Thanks Nilesh,

 

I tried ; 

 

command : sudo /sbin/service httpd restart

 

Error message :

 

Stopping httpd:                                            [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
