CentOS - May 2013 - Run multiple instance of apache

Hello everybody,

I am trying to run 2 instances of apache on centos since 2 weeks with no lucks
:S, exactly on the same IP address but different port.
I've set up two configuration as follow:
/etc/httpd and /etc/httpd2, and I duplicated the httpd service, so now I have 2
httpd service each one run an httpd conf.

Now when I am trying to restart the first httpd service, it give the following
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain
name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
but the status is OK. And when I try to restart the httpd2 service, it give the
same error with a failed status.
Some internet research told that I have to put a serverName in httpd.conf
(server name was commented) so I change it with the hostname of my VM.

Now when I try to restart httpd2 the error message disappear, but his status is
always failed.
N.B.
My first httpd.conf don't have a serverName.
My /etc/hosts contain only:
                127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Ahmad HC

Why two services? To have 2 or more Webservers at the same maschine with one or
several IPs, that's why apache invented virtual hosts.
Set up vhosts for every instance you want to run.
See 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html

Try to follow this 

http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RunningMultipleApacheInstances


FreeBSD has support for this out of the box.

You might want to take a look at how exactly FreeBSD handles the
configuration.
You will most likely also need to specify different log-, lock- and
pid-files/paths.

I've done it on FreeBSD and it works like a charm.

selinux maybe? have a look at /var/log/audit/auditd.log while starting httpd2.
