Installing Apache2 on Ubuntu 9.10 Errors. Help.

[Killswitch - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Alright, I've been trying for HOURS to get this to fucking work but I can't figure it out.

Here is my error. What am I doing wrong?

* Starting web server apache2
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Searched all over hell couldn't find shit, not even on ubuntuforums.org.

How are you installing it?

apt, from source, we need more info!

[AIbenjamink]

Do you have another service utilizing port 80?

Don't have multiple listen entries. Heres my ports.conf file

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
# This is also true if you have upgraded from before 2.2.9-3 (i.e. from
# Debian etch). See /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/NEWS.Debian.gz and
# README.Debian.gz

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    # SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported, therefore no
    # NameVirtualHost statement here
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

let me fire up a vm image of ubuntu, hold.

May have an overlap of listen commands in your httpd.conf file.

httpd.conf is empty. Nothing in that thread worked.

I just installed it and it's 8 dependencies using Synaptic and it's working fine. What command are you using to start it?

[Killswitch - BANNED FOR LIFE]

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

[Domain Broker]

there's your problem, start it with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

I decided to go to http://localhost/ and this is what I get

Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 Server at localhost Port 80

I checked /var/www and there is an index.html in there with this:

<html><body><h1>It works!</h1>
<p>This is the default web page for this server.</p>
<p>The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.</p>
</body></html>

No idea wtf is going on...

I would just remove it with apt-get and install from Synaptic.

[Killswitch - BANNED FOR LIFE]

How do I do it from Synaptic?

[Killswitch - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Welp, just installed from Synaptic, same shit, different install.

This seems kind of strange, your localhost should be 127.0.0.1, I believe. Can you access the server at http://127.0.0.1:80/ or http://127.0.1.1:80/ ?

Your friend >> http://ubuntuforums.org/

Try this...

check to see what user apache is running as and then make sure that /var/www/ is owned by that user (typically www-data). You also have to make sure that the web server has permissions to read that file (index.html).

However, you can start by making an .htaccess file with this in it and place it in /var/www/.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

Oh... and I think apache2 gets installed by default unless I am mistaken... same with mysql.

do you run skype? it hijacks port 80

hmmmm

[Killswitch - BANNED FOR LIFE]

How do I check to see what apache is running as and if it owns /var/www?

Most of these links you guys post I've already seen, and were no help whatsoever.

That's what I thought as soon as I saw his post. I haven't ran Linux for several years but every distro I had, apache was installed by default.

ps -A from a shell, IIRC. http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_ps.htm

And you can chmod on /var/www/ but I doubt it's necessary.

run this at the shell

ps aux | grep httpd

Welp, I must have fucked something up as I restarted and it wouldn't load GRUB was messed up or something, I think it was because of having dual boot or something, I don't remember, I am posting from the Live CD right now, gonna reinstall it overtop of everything with a clean reformat instead of dual booting.

Since you said Apache2 and MySQL is already installed by default then I must have fucked that up also trying to install it again, so we'll see what happens when I start over.

Be right back, thanks for all the help everyone.

[Killswitch - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Alright, did a fresh reinstall wiping out Windows and ran this

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

Works great now. Thanks for all the help.

Edit: For anyone looking for this problem, this is what I did.

I refuse to run anything you tell me to fris.

Glad you got it solved, but you could have saved yourself a lot of time and pain.... look at the output of netstat in your post #4.

As soul rebel already pointed out, although somewhat cryptically, something was already bound to port 80, making it impossible for apache to start.
