    I can´t run a second Apache server.
    I called httpd with -f parameter and I put a new .pid file in the alternative conf file, but the new httpd process doesn´t run. And there is not any error message!!!

    I suspect on a CPanel "interference", but I'm not sure.

    Any idea?
    Thanks

    cPanel will not 'interfear' with anoyhting else running. You however cannot have 2 instences of apache running on port 80

    Two instances of Apache: resolved

    Yes, it's possible to have two instances of Apache running in a computer. But it looks that CPanel need a server listening in 127.0.0.1 for geting server status.

    The method is build a config file for the second server and call the server with the -f parameter
    For example:

    /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -f httpd-2.conf

    In this config file
    - you must a choose a pid file different of the one used by the main server. This is the file where httpd write its process id.
    - The server must listen at a diferent IP of the one used by the main server. Of course yu must have this IP up.

    So the main server must have two Listen sentences: one for the public IP and one for the localhost (server status read by whm)

    But both can listen at the same port (80 for instance).

    Thanks

    It's Not Working Yet

    Thank you very much, this is also my problem: Having 2 Apache instances running in the same server. One of them listening in some IP's and the other one in other IP's

    I just added this to the httpd.conf of the first Apache:

    Listen 127.0.0.1:80
    Listen x.x.x.x:80
    Listen y.y.y..y:80

    Being x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y the IP's to listen for.

    I included the 127.0.0.1 IP as you mentioned but after restarting WHM can't see Apache and tell me "Unable to retrieve apache status [an error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]"

    I can't access my web sites in this Apache either.

    Any other advice?

    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem. Adding the "Listen a.b.c.d:80" kills apache from the outside world. I cannot get a restart on WHM, I can get a restart on comand line, ps ax shows the processes are running, netstat -pevatun shows httpd is listening on the right interfaces, **however** from outside it looks dead. Browser won't work, telnet a.b.c.d 80 won't connect, it's not a firewall problem.

    If anybody could get 2 Apache servers running on a server with cPanel, I would really appreciate any tips.

    TIA,
    Alex
