can't start httpd on my fedora 16

[baijingjiao]

My Fedora 16 is updated today;


on my fedora 16, XAMPP is running. is this the reason?

[root@f16 ~]# lsof -i:443
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
httpd 2553 root 6u IPv6 29811 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)
httpd 2935 nobody 6u IPv6 29811 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)
httpd 2936 nobody 6u IPv6 29811 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)
httpd 2937 nobody 6u IPv6 29811 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)
httpd 2938 nobody 6u IPv6 29811 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)
httpd 2939 nobody 6u IPv6 29811 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN)

if u have done anything to your httpd.conf use httpd -t command to verify synthax....

XAMPP contains its own http server. You can't use it simultaneously with the standard Fedora httpd unless you configure either one to use non-standard ports.

[root@f16 ~]# less /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | grep Listen
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080
[root@f16 ~]# less /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf | grep Listen
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

I have the same problem with Fedora 18. Then I found out from /var/log/httpd/error.log:

[Fri May 17 11:41:47.577429 2013] [unique_id:alert] [pid 2774] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: AH01564: unable to find IPv4 address of "myhostname"
AH00016: Configuration Failed

The problem was that I changed my hostname and httpd failed to resovle the IP for my hostname. A simple solution is to add 'myhostname' to /etc/hosts file as localhost.

Hope this helps someone
