Could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

Hi,

I have got the same problem/error message. Another process blocks Port 80, but the strange thing about it is:

Code:

It looks like bash is blocking Port 80. I have a VServer, so I have to connect via SSH to get a shell. So, when I kill this process, I get disconnected of course. But after killing it, Port 80 is still blocked by another program. I found out by running a port-scan. When I run the Apache on a different Port it works pretty good...

Do you have any idea, how I could fix this? I already tried many solutions mentioned here. But none seems to work for me.

I got this error when I ran the command:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I just added sudo (ran the command as root user)
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and it worked!

Hope this is useful.

Hello,
I find post that make listen port in httpd.conf file like this
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Listen 80 & this
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf Listen 443

I have cent 5.6 with kernel 2.6.18-238.12.1.e15 on an i686

but I faced with
-bash: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: permission denied

also with 443 I found

/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf: permission denied

can you help me..

Please do NOT resurrect a 3 year old thread; start a new one instead.
FYI, looks like you don't realise you need to be root user to edit that file.
