Topic: Faliure when starting httpd

[groyk]

Hi

I am getting this faliure when trying to start httpd.

Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

the httpd starts, but I dot think it is writing to the logfile!

That is probably because you used the wrong command to restart your web server. What does it do after a reboot?

Reboot. In future, do:

sv t /service/httpd-e-smith

if you wish to restart apache.

BTW, why are you trying to restart apache?

Thank you for information

I was restarting because I had expanded a template to get https on an Ibay.

Followed an howto I've found.

Do you have a pointer to the howto? Is it in the wiki, if so I would really like a pointer so we can fix the instructions to be correct.
