Question

After restarting PLESK in SSH I ran into some problems with the webserver not being able to restart.

When I run

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

I get the following error

Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I than ran

/bin/netstat -lnp | grep '0.0.0.0:80'

which gave me

tcp  0  0 0.0.0.0:80  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  9097/apache2

I have no idea how to proceed from here to get things up and running again.

Edit: I killed process 9097 as suggested by Ed Heal and Chipmunk0110. After that I still couldn’t start apache. I resulted in the same error.
/bin/netstat -lnp | grep ‘0.0.0.0:80’ now results in

tcp  0  0 0.0.0.0:80  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  21171/apache2

Answer 1

sudo kill -9 9097

9097 is the process id of this particular apache instance
