httpd fails - new install

[BDMM]

Help.

I have just installed 9.0.1 on a new clean server running centOS 5.2
Install went OK according to log

However I get the following message when trying to stop/start httpd

service httpd start

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8443

Wow yeah thats weird, your instance of apache is trying to run on port 8443, which is where the plesk daemon is. Have you got any custom configs in /etc/httpd/conf.d, or in the users dirs? Look for any references to "Listen 8443"

Hi atomic

I get

/etc/httpd/conf.d

grep "8443" *
nss.conf:# Listen directives: "Listen [::]:8443" and "Listen 0.0.0.0:443"
nss.conf:Listen 8443
nss.conf:<VirtualHost _default_:8443>
nss.conf:#ServerName www.example.com:8443

That'll do it all right... looking at my desktop box (fedora 10 in this case) that belongs to mod_nss and indeed also runs on port 8443.

It is apparently associated with the Fedora Directory server project, and isnt needed for SSL support under regular apache. Neat find there, I had no idea something like that was floating around.

So what you can do is either remove mod_nss with:

yum remove mod_nss

Or you could just disable their config

mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf.disabled

If for some reason this package is not associated with mod_nss, you can get the package name for a file by using:

rpm -qf /etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf

Thanks

yum remove mod_nss worked perfect.

I googled itand saw some ref to SSO here but assume it is not being used by plesk/SSO in this case.

Its definitely not used by plesk, looks like its a dependency for the fedora directory services project (active directory replacement)
