apache and ssl problems

[rviradia]

I'm having a problem accessing backend ports 2083 & 2087 (ssl), both ports are open in the firewall, also I can't seem to get SSL going on a site with dedicated IP, I added the cert/key/ca-bundle and it installed okay with WHM, but it won't pull up in a browser at all, I stopped apache and ran /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl but get the following error:

[Wed Aug 3 09:49:19 2005] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Wed Aug 3 09:49:25 2005] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80
[Wed Aug 3 09:49:40 2005] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 80

--------------------------------------

also to get apache (and sometimes mysql) going after reboot, I have to run /etc/init.d/chkservd restart & /etc/init.d/httpd restart or it won't come up:

[Wed Aug 3 09:51:35 2005] [notice] Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.11 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 configured -- resuming normal operations

Thanks in advance

What are you running on port 80?

netstat -anp | grep 80

...it will display the processrunning on port 80...kill it and restart apache

also run

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest

[rviradia]

netstat -anp | grep 80 shows only httpd is running on port 80 ,

root@host [~]# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest
Syntax OK

Thanks

Make sure httpd.conf have following lines

<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 80
Listen 443
</IfDefine>

[rviradia]

Yes, this is in there

Make sure httpd.conf have following lines

<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 80
Listen 443
</IfDefine>

It seems that something is hanging on port 80 ..may be an another instance of apache ..you need to first kill the process binded on port 80..then try restarting apache...and also have a close look to your httpd.conf

[rviradia]

Opened ticket with cpanel and problem solved by them (rather quickly I might add)

problem with apache:

There was an extra Listen directive in httpd.conf (how it got there i don't know?), removed & restarted apache, https works fine now

problem with 2083/2087:

System was configured to start stunnel from /usr/bin/stunnel-4.05local, which did not exist. Symlinked this file from /usr/bin/stunnel-4.04local, restarted stunnel, and cpanel is now listening on secure ports.

Thanks
