httpd.service wont start

Hi guys,

I just got a new Centos server.
I went thtough with this ti set it up ===> The Perfect Server – CentOS 7.4 with Apache, Postfix, Dovecot, Pure-FTPD, BIND and ISPConfig 3.1
Testing on the way all was working fine up to the time i install ispconfig.
After installing ispconfig i was unable to start httpd.service

Some errors i got:


[root@server81531 ispconfig]# systemctl restart httpd.service
Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can someone help me here as im stuck with this for the last 2 days!

Thank you.

 

I think that you have a port configuration problem. When you installed ISPConfig, you changed the port number to 8081?

 

no. I left it to 8080

 

I think that on 8081 is running another app.
Apr 23 13:37:33 server81531.domain.local httpd[11961]: (13)Permission denied: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8081

 

Nothing i guess

[root@server81531 install]# netstat -ntap | grep 8081
[root@server81531 install]#

 

here's what i got Till:

[root@server81531 install]# cd /etc/httpd/conf/sites-enabled/
[root@server81531 sites-enabled]# ls -al
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Apr 22 06:48 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Apr 22 06:47 ..
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 42 Apr 22 06:47 000-apps.vhost -> /etc/httpd/conf/sites-available/apps.vhost
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 46 Apr 22 06:47 000-ispconfig.conf -> /etc/httpd/conf/sites-available/ispconfig.conf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 47 Apr 22 06:48 000-ispconfig.vhost -> /etc/httpd/conf/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost

 

No result:

[root@server81531 sites-enabled]# grep -r -n 8081 /etc/httpd/
[root@server81531 sites-enabled]#

 

[root@server81531 sites-enabled]# cd /etc/httpd/conf/sites-available/
[root@server81531 sites-available]# ls -al
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Apr 22 06:48 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Apr 22 06:47 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Apr 23 14:37 apps.vhost
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Apr 23 14:37 ispconfig.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Apr 23 14:37 ispconfig.vhost

 

You could also remove apache, reinstall it and reconfigure services of ISPConfig.

 

Server rebooted
http.service running fine
Can't access the ispconfig panel (Page not found)

Investigating............. (I'll be back soon)

 

updated ispconfig on port 8080 and got this now:


Restarting services ...
Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
PHP Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /tmp/ispconfig3_install/install/update.php on line 574
Update finished.
[root@server81531 install]#

Any ideas?

 

I've redone the lot again but still the same error.
