Subject: Apache : Listen on ports other than 80

Hi,
I just install centos 6.3 on my oracle virtualbox. I tried 2 configure apache 2
listen on port say 1010 but after adding a 'Listen 1010' to the
httpd.conf file and then try 2 restart d httpd service, I found that d service
failed to start. If I remove the 'Listen 1010' line then d httpd service
restarts successfully. What do I need to do so I could instruct d web server to
use other ports (besides 80) ?

Are there default settings in centos that are causing this prob ? I have done
same experiment successfully wit apache on windows. I need to setup virtualhost
with my apache on centos. I need help now. Pls help!

Regards

Kunle

check the <VirtualHost *:PORT> directive (and NameVirtualHost *:PORT).

I saw this error msg : 'permission denied:make_sock : could not bind to
address 0.0.0.0:1010.
No listening sockets available,shutting down' .

Start by looking in the apache error log. I think you'll get hints
there on what the problem is.

I v run d netstat and no result(i.e no process is listening on port 1010). Also
I telnet 127.0.0.1 1010 just 2 confirm that no process is using the port. I
can't figure out why the port(and any other except 80) would not work!

is another process listening on 1010 ?

     netstat -an |grep :1010

look for lines with LISTEN on the end ...

I am running as a root user. I am very much aware that a non-privileged user
can't access some functions. But again, I am running centos from my oracle
virtualbox. I hope the virtual machine is not a factor?

or, are you trying to start apache from a non-privileged user? ports
through 1024 are reserved and only root can bind processes to them.

selinux ?

try setting it to 'permissive' if its in 'enforcing', and see if
it
works.  if so, you'll need to adjust the selinux policy to allow apache 
to listen on more ports.
