Re: [cobalt-users] Apache not responding on port 80

["George" <cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter, I changed the original "Port   80" line (never got to change or add to the "Listen   80"), first to 81 and then, realizing it
could interfere with the rewrite rules that use port 81 for the admin GUI, I tried others, to no avail, rebooting each time.

Now the "error" log shows apache keeps trying, unsuccessfully, to bind to port 81, and a socket cannot be established because the
port appears taken.

The odd thing is, I tried "killall httpd" (as suggested in a previous incident in the archive), and rebooted, but it did not solve
the problem.  The configuration files in   /etc/httpd/conf   all seem to have "Port   80" but the information must be stored
somewhere else since rebooting does not change the situation, that is, port 80 remains without service.     Hints?

Anything in the logfiles (error)? In which section of httpd.conf did you
change the port?
