I could use some help debugging a weird error in Apache HTTPD server # httpd -v Server version: Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) Server built: Mar 17 2010 17:26:13 Code (markup): The problem I'm having is that httpd won't stop/restart without throwing an error. I don't why. When the server is running it's "working" properly - IE sites are loading but whenever I try to restart HTTPD due to a vhost change or log rotation or something like that, I get errors. I think the root cause has to do with the following. When the server is loading sites properly and I query the status of httpd, here's what I get: # sudo service httpd status httpd dead but subsys locked Code (markup): So here's a synopsis of what happens when I try to restart. # sudo service httpd stop Stopping https: [FAILED] # sudo service httpd status httpd is stopped # sudo service httpd start Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs [FAILED] # netstat -nltp | grep ':80' tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 5133/httpd # sudo kill 5133 # sudo service httpd start Starting httpd: [ OK ] # sudo service httpd status httpd dead but subsys locked Code (markup): What could cause the dead but subsys locked error? What could cause the error on restart? I assume the same thing is causing both. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Nevermind, I fixed my own problem with a little research. I had a problem with mod_ssl... I did a reinstall and it works now.
