Apache SSL Problem

[carlg]

I keep getting the following when trying tp start my apache server with ssl.





root /usr/local/apache2/conf-> /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl startssl

(9Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443

no listening sockets available, shutting down

Unable to open logs

root /usr/local/apache2/conf->





I tried to use other ports besides 443 and it still did the same thing. I also checked for other running instances of apache and could not find any other instances.

ps -ef | grep apache
ps -ef | grep http

both don't find anything.

Help is appreciated

Thanks

Carl

Are you running anything like portsentry? That could have already bound itself to the port.

try
netstat /ln | grep 443

and see if anything is already listed as using that port.

Does apache start normally when not operating in ssl mode or do you still get an error?

Apache can start normally when not in SSL mode.

You have multiple Listen statements in your apache SSL configuration. You probably have something like:

Listen 0.0.0.0:443
. . . (virtualhost definitions)
Listen 192.168.1.0:443

The second listen statement will fail because the first one is already listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0 = all). Once you fix this, it should start without any trouble.

Best,
