CustomLog Problem - no logs get written

    Hi everyone,

    I can't seem to get custom logs working at all.

    in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf I have these two lines (for example):
    LogFormat "%h %l" custom123
    CustomLog /var/www/testlog.log custom123

    The funny thing is, is that nothing gets written to this file, while everything is being correctly logged in the standard /var/log/apache2/access and error.

    b.t.w, apache restart without any errors, and if the file testlog.log does not exist, it is created.

    Also I've noticed that if I run "apache2", I get:
    (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


    Does anyone know what might be wrong?

    What does

    % /usr/local/sbin/apachectl configtest

    say?


    Have you checked to see what is binding to port 80?

    Thanks for the reply

    the command "apache2ctl configtest"
    gives:
    Syntax OK


    apache2 is bound to port 80
    netstat -apn --tcp
    tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 14670/apache2


    apart from this, apache works perfectly.
