This is my first thread !
I need some help please

I cannot get my LAMP server installed on Opensuse 11.0

My Apache2 is not starting ( I get the following msg )

Starting httpd2 (prefork) (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.0.100:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork: 1
failed

When I do ( as root or super user mode)
netstat -tap

I get the following output :

I assume you installed all of LAMP from OpenSUSE media or repositories?

How are you starting apache2? That is, what command or GUI interface are you using?

#3

I use the following command :

rcapache2 start

and/or I use the system services (runlevel) in yast

thx

If you set up apache to start at boot, then rcapache2 start will tell you that apache is already running, which is what that message about the port already being used is all about. So your webserver is probably already running. I suspect your netstat output is missing something as you also manage to duplicate a couple of lines. Try this:

netstat -atnp | grep :80

That will return something if apache is listening on port 80.

You should be able to enter this in your browser:

http://localhost/index.html

and see something, even if it’s just apache saying the page doesn’t exist. Then start putting content in /srv/www/htdocs

Hello

I have tried the latest command suggested with netstat … and I got this :
*
Suse11:/home/donald/Desktop # netstat -atnp | grep :80

Have a look in /var/log/apache2/error_log to see if there are any startup problems.
