Instantrails users - Nov 2005 - apache refuses to start because of port conflict

Here is the deal. I''m trying out the latest Instant Rails and when I
start it Apache claims that the web port is being used.

"Apache cannot be runned : another Web server use the Web port"

Okay, no problem. I went into the Apache configuration and changed the
port it was binding to. However I get the same problem.

The troubleshooting continues, so I install Apache by itself and out
of the box Apache runs fine (ie no port conflicts with port 80).

So now I''m pretty clueless, Apache by itself runs but Apache that
comes with Instant Rails will not run at all.

I''ve never seen this, but Googling for that less-than-perfect-English
error message suggests that this is a problem inherited from
EasyPHP.

This entry on the EasyPHP FAQ seems to be related:

 http://www.easyphp.org/faq.php3#45


The same error message has also been discussed on this
IR-Users ML, here:

 http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/instantrails-users/2005-October/000012.html


Hope this might help someone track the problem down.

That''s hilarious, I googled and totally missed this.

Ok here is a stupid solution to the problem. If run Apache and then
start InstantRails I don''t get the idiotic error message saying
it''s
conflicting with the web port.

Anyway I am seriously impressed with InstantRails. What a hell of a
way to develop rails apps. The best thing about it is that I can dump
it on my work computer and not have to modify the system environment.
I''d like to thank all those involved on this project you''re
doing a
hell of a good job.

Thanks.

Most of the kudos go to the EasyPHP people -- I just forked their excellent
project and morphed it into a Ruby/Rails solution.

Yeah, this is because IR detects that its copy of Apache is already running
and does not attempt to start it.

The fact that you can start Apache manually says that you really don''t
have
a port conflict and the error mesage is bogus. I''ll put this on my todo
list
to look at, but its going to be tough to debug a problem I can''t
reproduce.
