Apache 2.0

GoldenEagle · 09-09-2003, 08:35 PM

Anyone know anything about the program? I get this error message when trying to start the program:

Only one usage of each socket address is normally permitted. :make_sock: could not bind to the address 0.0.0.0:80 No listening socks available,s hutting down
Unable to listen to logs.

Now, I have edited the httpd.conf to aloow me to use PHP.

Nevermind, I am going back to my corner and sitting down

Means you have a service already listening on port 80 (usually a web server). Means you likely have another instance of apache already started I would guess.

0.0.0.0 => non valid IP address. Did you configure your IP address properly ?

Alan T · 09-10-2003, 07:53 AM

Many systems actually use 0.0.0.0 not as the address but actually to mean it is listening on any address valid for the machine..

You can configure apache a few different ways (to listen only on one specific address and port, or to listen on any valid address on a specific port)..

It is useful when you might have multiple Addresses on a machine for one form of multiple hosts... (an alternative to using hostheaders or such.)

The 0.0.0.0 is not really a problem in the above error. Just the bind fail is the problem

Alan, on our machines, we do set specific IP addresses for which the Apache server listens, we just configure

Port 80

so he can listen on Port 80 for all his IP adresses. However, those are real IP addresses (several interface). I don't know (yet) the configuration for virtual servers (we are doing this this week for one of our server though

)

I personally have always felt that it was a waste of routable IP addresses in most cases to host different sites on the same physical machine on different services. I have been a bigger fan of using virtual hosts and host headers to do the same thing without wasting routable IP addresses. The only caveat of course is there are times for security reasons, financial reasons or technical reasons that you should use seperate IP addresses or even seperate systems all together for a site. Most of the stuff I do, that is not necessary though.

Ahh, I was happy back when I used Apache on Unix. I believe at first we needed to use distinct IP's, as virtual hosting wasn't available yet ('96, '97)? After that we started using virtual hosts out the wazoo. It was handy for all those departments/orgs who wanted their own domain names.

Only one way to learn Franklin

Unlike Microsoft, Linux is free to download and try out (as long as you do not violate their usage policy)..

Unless you plan on altering the code and clamining it all as your own or plan on making changes and distributing it as a closed source product it's pretty hard to violate their usage policy.
