(98)Address Already In Use: Make_sock: Could Not Bind To Address 80

Thanks man really helped out a lot

$ sudo fuser -k -n tcp 80

this worked on centos. Thanks a lot!!!
Apache was down for an hour and ISPs control panel occupated port 80

thanks, it's work for me

pmg thanks!

Hey ,

This ,means some process ir running which is using this port so try to kill that process

like get the process

eg : ps -ef | grep httpd

then kill the process

eg kill -9 process ID

this worked for me

$ sudo fuser -k -n tcp 80
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

Commenting out Listen 80 will work because there is another Listen statement listening to the same port i.e. Listen [server ip addr or name]:80.

Hello
just had the same error message on Fedora 13 and this is how it was solved.
Change the listen port in the httpd config file to 81, by doing this we want to see which service is using port 80.
as root do the following:
#netstat -tlp
after running the command.

now we know that port 80 is utilised by another service, so locate and change system-config-httpd.conf: system-config-httpd.conf system-config-httpd.conf. all of this, restart httpd:
/etc/init.d/httpd start

that was not hard...was it now.

thanks Shuvo.
my apache it works now.

following error coming when i start the apache start or restart.

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]

$ sudo fuser -k -n tcp 80
$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd -k start


It helped me in my Debian server. Thanks Shuvo.. :)

Restarting web server: apache2(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8080


what to do guys i am getting that error while starting apache...

if u have a nic configured with the ip that httpd will listen to it should work fine , if u r using floating ip , virtual ip that will be created as a cluster resource change the ip address i.e if u have have two nics, nic1 192.168... and nic2 10.0... it will work for 10.0.. and will not for 192.168 .. why I dont know ;) if u know tell me

Changing the port number in your httpd.conf file works a charm.

hi
when i tried to ssl in apachectl config and finished all steps in ssl but is following error coming when i start the apachectl start or restart.
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Stopping httpd: [ OK ]

Starting httpd: (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

it seems like another web server daemon already running,,, if u use xampp, try to stop it first,
/opt/lampp/lampp stop,
then try to starting httpd
#service httpd start

try this:

$ sudo fuser -k -n tcp 80
$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd -k start

Thanks. Your solution is working fine.

hey,guys!watch me,i also had the same issue and i just changed the port,such as 88. restart apache and it works.even i didnt know what had happened!

please stop iis server from windows service
(administrator tool -> services - > world wide web)

and start apache

please just run the command

fuser -k -n tcp 80

i found the solution here:-
openhelp.info/index.php?option=com_

ken's suggestion worked for me. i was getting (98) address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::] when ever i ran:
# apachectl start
or
# service httpd start
if i ran:
# apache status
i would get: httpd dead but subsys locked

anyhow i went into htttpd.conf and commented out "listen *:80"
this worked, but i still don't what happened and why this solution worked.

i could see the correct fix in the following url:-
openhelp.info/index.php?option=com_

hi bose issue the following commands to sortout this issue:-
root at del [~]#for i in `ps auwx | grep -i nobody | awk {'print $2'}`; do kill -9 $i; done

root at del [~]#for i in `lsof -i :80 | grep http | awk {' print $2'}`; do kill -9 $i; done
2) if apache is not restarting after this. remove semaphore using the following script.

root at del [~]#for i in `ipcs -s | grep nobody | awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -s $i; done

3) restart apche.
root at del [~]#/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

give the solution for this error: (os 10048) only one usage of each socket address (protoclo / network / adress /port) is normally permitted: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0.80 no listening sockets available, sutting down unable to open logs in apache 2.0

i took 3 hours to solve the issue. for reference: in conf file : servername localhost
listen 80

it is ok for me.

this is my error:


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

1)kill all nobody process. use the following script for doing that.

for i in `ps auwx | grep -i nobody | awk {'print $2'}`; do kill -9 $i; done

2) if apache is not restarting after this. remove semaphore using the following script.

for i in `ipcs -s | grep nobody | awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -s $i; done

3) restart apche.

i also get this on my windows 2003 server with microsoft sql

address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down

try turn orr virtual host 0.0.0.0:80

i also had the same problem. when i commented out listen 80 in my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file on my fedora 8 box, it worked like a charm.

hello :)
in /etc/httpd/ do :
find . | xargs grep "0.0.0.0:80"

you will find some files
( for me : this command return in exemple)
./conf.d/system-config- value from 0.0.0.0:80 to *:80

i have made the change for two files
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
/etc/h

hello :)
in /etc/httpd/ do :
find . | xargs grep "0.0.0.0:80"

you will find some files
( for me : this command return in exemple)
./conf.d/system-config- value from 0.0.0.0:80 to *:80

in every file found

i also had the same problem. when i commented out listen 80 in my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file on my fedora 8 box, it worked like a charm.

i had the same problem. commneting the listen 80 line httpd.conf line and then restarting the httpd service fixed my issue.

i am using port formwarding dynamicdns
