Hp Apache WebServer

logesh — Wed, 21 Dec 2005 08:32:42 GMT

Hi,
My environment as follows:
O/s: hpux 11iv2 (11.23)
Apache web server 2.0.55

my it team has started the apache web server from the root /opt/hpws/apache

i have made the modifications on httpd.conf where i have made these changes.
(1) listen <8080>
(2) server name : 8080

When i tried to access the url http://ipaddress:8080, its not showing the page instead it says page not found.

if anyone can suggest me some workaround it would be appreciated.

Hi,

Port 8080 is reserverd for https.
so unix will only except https names.
If you realy want to do this you must edit /etc/services/
and make port 8080 the same as 80.
But i would recommended. its better to take a port which is not in use.

it seems You did everything right, and I also used this setup in a number of occasions.

can You check that
"tcp ipaddress:8080 * "
is listed in the output of:
netstat -na |grep LISTEN

if not, apache has either failed start for some reason, or was not restarted properly
after the configuration update.

also, if using Internet Explorer, You MUST include "http://" in the URL You type in or it will always display the error You see.

https uses port 431, btw.
8080 is completely ok for http, though some -idiotic- proxy software uses it instead of 3128.

https is port 443, not 8080 nor 431, to the best of my knowledge.

logest, cat /etc/servers | grep 8080 and make sure port 8080 isn't reserved on your system for something else.

logesh,
1) if you have 'lsof', you can do a 'lsof -i:8080' to see what application/process is listening to port 8080

2) see if there are any errors logged in /logs/error_log & acess_log

have made the modifications on httpd.conf where i have made these changes.
(1) listen <8080>
(2) server name : 8080
(3) stop and start the apache server.

You may have done this, but your steps listed are not complete.

Hi,

From what you've done seem right, with the exception of restarting HTTP (as mentioned above). A "# kill HUP " will do as well.

There could be a few reasons with this issue:

1 - Other configurtion might casue this in http.conf

2 - Another application is using port 8080 (if you have 'lsof', use it to verify).

3 - The version of apache you're running is for another version of HP-UX.

Let us know how you go.

check 8080 port is in LISTEN state as,

# netstat -na | grep 8080

Did you reconfigure apache after changing configuration in httpd.conf file? So that changes will get EFFECT.

Is there a index.html file in the docsroot directory? Check whether apache is running or not as,

# ps -ef | grep apache

Is there any error messages in apache log file?

Post this information.

Port 8080 is for Tomcat. Make sure there is no port conflict between Tomcat and Apache.
Try this before starting Apache,

# netstat -na |grep -E 8080

and make sure nothing listens on port 8080.
