Hello,

We are unable to get apache working.

It show this error:

service httpd start
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

We check port 80 with netstat, lsof, and there are no processes using that port.
Firewall is stoped
Also we recompiled with easy apache, reboot the server but the error persist.
We ran /scripts/upcp and /scripts/upcp --force but the problem persist.

Any idea please?

Thank you.-

Hello :)

Please check the output of the Apache error log:

Code:
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
Do you notice any specific output when attempting to start Apache?

Thank you.

I would guess (if you haven't already figured this out) that you are including a conf file from the /conf/extras folder that is trying to listen on the same port. Look through your httpd.conf file for any included *.conf files and then check them out to see if they have a Listen directive set on 80. This happened to me when I initially setup the httpd.conf to use 443 and then later enabled the httpd-ssl.conf file which was trying to listen on the same port.
