I have ben running FreeBSD for about 10 years. I have the PHP-Mysql
system on my computer. It always worked great when I was using
apache-1.3. After running a lot PHP scripts, apache crashed. I didn't
know why, so I installed apache2. Thats where the problem begins.

As soon as I log in, I run ps -aux to see if apache is running. It is
not. So I type httpd, the command to start it, and I get:

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

I think my only problem is "that here no socket". I tried this with
and with the /tmp directory installed. I tried to figure out how to
make a socket, but I couln't. If anyone could me out, I would
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Your problem is the "Address already in use" - some existing process
is using port 80.

HTH,

This computer will mostly be used offline. It will only connect when
I'm updating my website.

It says " Address already in use" but that's not the case.
I ran 'netstat' and 'ifconfig'. These programs display network
actitvity and nothing about port 80 was found.

I did two installations. The first installation was my ordinary
project and the second installation was a test install for apache2.
This installation only had apache2 installed.
They both performed the same.

On the test machine, I deleted apache2 and installed apache-1.3.
Apache-1.3 now works perfect.

There is still something screwy about apache2.
Hope someone can .

Thanks,
bruce

I finnally fixed it!

Thanks to a tip I got on the FreeBSD newsgroup. It said:

>do you have apache2_enable="YES" in rc.conf?

I put that in my rc.conf and presto!!! --IT WORKED--

Thanks everybody,
