kcweb on hpux11.23 cannot start

[tommy_28]

Hello,

# kcweb
Attempting to start server...
ERROR: attempt to start '/opt/hpws/apache/bin/httpd' failed.

Trying
#/opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl start
It seems the apache works fine.


I found their's another apachectl in /hpwebadmin/lbin/apachectl
Trying this returns error.
# /apachectl start
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

I've tried remove &reinstall below filesets, but there's no help.

hpuxwsXml A.1.0.06.01 HP-UX XML Web Server Tools


What can I do?
Thx!

Check on which ports the apache tries to listen. It seems that the sockets on which it wants to to listen is already taken. That probably the reason why the other apache start works. It simply listen to another (open) socket.

#netstat
showed arround 260 sockets occupied, I found in another machine only 1/10 of them.

How to check which socket is in use while others not?

Thx.

Hi Tommy,

So far I can remember, kcweb should listen on port 1188. Can you check that whether this port is occupied or not.

regards,
Richard

Try this:

kcweb -c

This will recreate the SSL certificates.

Then try running kcweb -F

I was having what appears to be the exact same problem as you and this fixed mine.

I was same condition as you.
Please check the path of the "openssl" command.
"/opt/wbem/sbin/openssl" is OK.
"/usr/bin/openssl" in "hpuxiexpress1" is NG.
