[users@httpd] Cant make apache listen on an IP address and port

[Siju George]

HI I have the following ports.conf



NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    # SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported, therefore no
    # NameVirtualHost statement here
    Listen 443
</IfModule>


Listen 213.49.146.24:8080

I have this in sites-enabled

<VirtualHost 213.49.146.24:8080>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        Redirect / https://213.49.146.24/

</VirtualHost


I have this line in /etc/hosts


213.49.146.24   isystem

when I try to restart apache it gives me this error

# apache2ctl start
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to
address 213.49.146.24:8080
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

What could be the trouble?

Thanks

You need the ServerName statement.

The server must actually have 213.49.146.24 as it's IP address. Is
that the case here? It's no good just putting the IP in /etc/hosts if
that IP isn't bound to one of the network interfaces.

Please see http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotBindToAddress for an  
in-depth discussion of this issue, and possible solutions.

Note that the first message ("Could not reliably ...") is a warning,  
not an error, but you probably should set ServerName. The rest of the  
message is an actual error condition.

OK I got the point. It is working now :-)

Thanks Philip, Igor and Rich
