Apache down, can´t restart

marcel1 2016-02-17 07:35:37 UTC #1

The Apache is down but I can´t restart it through the terminal. This message appears:

(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs
/opt/bitnami/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd could not be started

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks

Hi @marcel1,

It seems to be a related port issue. Could you execute the command below to check if this port is being used by another process?

sudo lsof -t -i :80 | xargs ps

Hi and thanks,

this is what is shown:

PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1523 ? S 0:00 /opt/bitnami/apache2/bin/httpd -f /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

And I´m not sure if that has to do with all this but the httpd-vhosts.conf has this instead of the actual server: ServerName wordpress.example.com
ServerAlias www.wordpress.example.com

The system was running perfect until last night when it suddenly stopped.

Hi @marcel1,

It's really weird. Could you try to execute the commands below and send the output to us?

sudo pkill -f apache
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart

Hi again,

I just noticed that the site is now up again!!
Thanks so much, it seems that this command restarted the server properly.

There was some output with "action failed", is that critical?
And: Can you tell me what the problem was?

Again, thanks for your help.
Best
Marcel

So the services seem to be properly started.

Only to confirm, are you able to access your site?

marcel1 2016-02-17 16:22:40 UTC #8

Hi davidg,

yes, I can access the site again!
One question: There was a message after runing the commands that said "monit: action failed -- Other action already in progress -- please try again later"
Is that something serious or to be ignored?

Thanks very much again,
best
Marcel

Hi @marcel1,

That's not something important. However, where are working on fixing this warning.

I'm glad it solved the issue
