Configuration template error / Apache ports

[Olivier77]

Hello everybody,

After having enabled fail2ban, my websites indicated Gateway Error. I resolved the problem with disabling Nginx (?). I finally disabled fail2ban.
This morning, when I added an email address, the plesk needed to reload configuration and my websites went down. Apache can't start.

The Webserver Configurations troubleshooter tells me that it can't create configuration templates because :

Can not restart web server: httpd stop failed
0 /usr/sbin/apache2 processes are killed
0 ../lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2 processes are killed
Service /etc/init.d/apache2 failed to start
httpd stop failed
0 /usr/sbin/apache2 processes are killed
0 ../lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2 processes are killed


Apache can't restart because :
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

Same thing with port 443.

When I launch a netstat, this is the "init" process which listens my port 80.

I don't understand why I can't use these ports since it worked for a while.

Thank you very much for your help.

What is your Plesk version?

 

[Olivier77]

12.0.18 Upgrade # 67

 

[Olivier77]

Debian 7.0

 

[IgorG]

Try to kill process which uses port 80 and start httpd service manually.

 

[Olivier77]

It is the "init" process which uses port 80. I'm not a expert in Linux but I think I can't kill it, right ?

 

[IgorG]

What is output of commands

# lsof -i tcp:80
# lsof -i tcp:443

?

 

[Olivier77]

[IgorG]

svnserv uses port 80. Why you have configured it so?

Kill these processes with

# kill -TERM 9242 9243
# kill -KILL 9242 9243

And then

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all

 

[Olivier77]

Why is it configured like this ? I don't know...

By the way, I've killed the processes and rebuild configuration, it's working now.
In first approach, I didn't want to kill these processes, but I had to.

Thank you very much.

 

[IgorG]

svnserv is third-party not Plesk related software and uses webserver's port 80. It is incorrect configuration at least.

 

[Olivier77]

I've just changed it to another port.

Thank you for your appreciated help.
