Apache 2.2.8 problem

skysurfer · 2008-05-01 03:02:24

Hi everyone. I'm dealing with a very weird problem!

Apache server was up and running just fine for months. Suddenly, it stopped responding from the internet. I can open my virtual hosts just fine from LAN only!

when i give httpd as root i get this:

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 10.122.20.70:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

To spare you from giving answers i've already tried, i give you what i've done/checked:

1. /etc/hosts and hostname at /etc/rc.conf are correct

2. My network configuration is ok (port 80 is correctly forwarded to my Arch server)

3. I have checked all httpd conf files to make sure that i have only one "Listen 80" statement

4. I have checked with netstat that nothing else uses port 80.

root ~ # netstat -lnp | grep :80
tcp 0 0 10.122.20.70:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4578/httpd

Althouth netmap returns the above, here is nmap results:

root ~ # nmap localhost
Starting Nmap 4.60 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-05-01 05:29 EEST

5. Logs are generated properly at /var/log/httpd

6. I tried removing completely apache and reinstalling. I also tried downgrading but i had the same results.

7. I changed the port to something else and still got the same error (98)

8. I tried disabling all vhosts but still nothing.

To sum up, configuration seems right (i've checked it 100 times!) and nothing else is running on port 80. So, what is going on???

Three days now i'm trying to find an answer through google and forums but i have failed. That's why i wrote this thread. I need your help please

Thank u in advance.
