Trying to install Apache on HP-UX 11.0

[Laurie A. Krumrey]

Hi All,

I get this error when trying to start up
the apache server:

[crit] (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to port 80

TIA,
Laurie

Root has to start this process to get access to the port.

The process then spawns all the normal processes as the www user that you setup.

Hi Laurie:

First,
Do a netstat -a | grep http and see if there is already a listener on port 80.
Secondly, did you try to start apache as root?

Hi Laurie:

This kind of error generally means that the socket (port) is already in use. You can use 'netstat -a' to verify this.

Regards!
