Can't restart apache from WHM

[dreglad]

Im am running latest cPanel/WHM on my CentOS 4.4 server

When I try to restart httpd from WHM, I get this error:

Attempting to restart httpd  	
Waiting for httpd to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.

httpd status

root      3794  0.7  0.9 20708 19400 ?       S    20:43   0:00 /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/whostmgr ./reshttpd


httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

I looked at the Apache log and I get this line (I hided my real address)

[Tue Dec 26 20:43:58 2006] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address IP.ADD.RE.SS port 80

When I run this command:

netstat -anp | grep 80

I see that there is NO service bind to port 80

I can make Apache work perfectly starting it with:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

But that way "Apache Status" script of WHM doesn't work, and I think there may be other stuff that doesn't work neither.
I also think that after restarting I'll need to run apachectl manually everytime.

I have several virtual interfaces, one with a second apache (2.0) installation, perhaps it is the problem.

Can anyone help me?
Does anyone know how exactly WHM restarts apache?

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know how exactly WHM restarts apache?

WHM restarts apache with "/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl"

The fact that you can start apache without SSL indicates that the problem is with the SSL setup - maybe an incorrect entry in the httpd.conf or a bad certificate.
Check the log entries & try: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest
