hi not sure what OS you are using but have an look at the /var/log/http/error_log you can tail -f <path-to/file> in one putty / console window and try to restart apache to see what its saying in the error log or just open it up with an text editior and see whats going on u have to go to the bottom of the file if cant get ur head around it try and reboot if you haven't done that and check to see if SELinux is running maybe that is part of the problem sorry i cant help more than that im away from my normal desktop and haven't looked at ispconfig in ages
ok thats evil try this log in as root and type in rm /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid and try to start up apache if still an no go try this as well mkdir -p /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web mkdir -p /var/www/ispconfig/ and try to start apache if still an no go check the httpd.conf file (/etc/httpd/conf/) i think and see what user / group apache is trying to run as and i think for the log apache_error and apache_log just rename them to like old_apache_error / old_apache_log and see if thats helps out besides that im out of things to try and say maybe your ISPConfig went to hell, thats all i can think of as well not sure what else to say or tell you to try thats all i can think of
Apache unable to connect hello again zcworld Centos 6. Thanks for your reply. i tried all and no results, could it be the firewall blocking it ? and if it is where can i find it ? and stop it ? i looked in alot of places in the system files and could not find a script to stop. i just was thinking may be the firewall blocking apache, but how to deal with that ?. Thanks again for your help kadi
firewall would only block incoming connections to that port 80 but the output saying that it can not bind to port 80 but i take it you are trying to start apache up as an root (super user) account you need to be root to bind to the lower port range do you have an folder called "/var/log/httpd" and its owned by apache:apache do as root su - if not chown -R /var/log/httpd and chmod -R 775 /var/log/httpd /etc/init.d/httpd restart ( i think) /etc/init.d/apache restart ( one of them two /etc/init.d/ commands will start apache up) if still no go than try to look at the httpd.conf file and change it from port 80 to like 88 and try to restart apache if starts up than something is on port 80 and blocking that port try telnet localhost 80 to see if something is running and than netstat to see whats running on port 80 and stop it besides that im almost out
Thanks hello Thanks for your concern, i just got tired and format with a new installation but i appreciate your response and concern. kadi
