Sorry...Now its apache

[FunkyBlueStick]

I can't get httpd to start. I keep getting this error:

[crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80

Anybody know what it means?

I could also do with being pointed in the direction of a decent apache newbie howto.

Finally, I'd guess my problem has something to do with the port apache is on?!? I know there is a command to look at your tcp/ip ports but I can't remeber it. Could someone remind me gently?

Thanks

ps aux | grep apache

Check to see if Apache is already running. That would be one cause of the error: something already running on port 80.

If not... are you using Debian, by any chance? Did you install some of the experimental IPV6 stuff accidently? I found out that stuff can mess up apache. I solved this by switchign to the apache-perl package.

Well I guess apache was already running then.
I keep getting this message now http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/confused.gif :

[alert] (2)No such file or directory: getpwuid: couldn't determine user name from uid 4294967295, you probably need to modify the User directive

I'm still having problems with it. Any ideas on a good howto on configuring apache?

Cheers

OK, I've managed to sort out my problem with the user.....ish! I've now got apache to start and everythings cool except I can't do a damn thing with it....doh!

Now I get a messeage like this:

You don't have permission to access / on this server

This is strange....I think I've set access up right. I'm not sure however. Oh.....am I talking to myself by the way??? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
