Apache could not be started because of mod_ssl
Everything was working well. But maybe a week ago, our system administrator was installing some stuff on all the machines for internal needs. After that my Apache web server hasn’t been started. Today, I needed to test something with PHP and I needed Apache for that. So, I started to investigate.
Here’s what Apache said:
Apache 2 is starting …
(OS 10048) Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:4433.
(OS 10048) Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:4433.
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs
Apache could not be started
I’ve tryed to change a port number, but nothing changed. BTW, I don’t need SSL for my work, so I just tryed to comment this module in httpd.conf:
#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
After commenting mod_ssl.so Apache starts without any errors. So, it’s a workaround. But I still don’t know what’s the true problem.
