I tried it with the standard kernel and IPv6 disabled, but I could not reproduce your problem.


I just tried again and now it _does_ work - hm, weird. Maybe there was a problem with another package that has been updated since Wednesday...

The following are the error messages:

A) With default config

$ /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Starting web server: apache2apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed
for snoopy apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName no listening
sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
 failed!

What is in the error log in this case? Does "snoopy" appear anywhere in your apache config or is it your hostname? What is its entry in /etc/hosts? There is nothing else listening on port 80, is there?


Just FYI:
1) No error logs were generated by apache2, /var/log/* did not have relating entries either.

2) snoopy is the hostname, entry in /etc/hosts is
<IP> snoopy.zih.tu-dresden.de snoopy ldap.zih.tu-dresden.de

3) netstat -ln showed no listeners on port 80, neither did lsof.

Cheers,
Stefan

Now that apache2 is working, you may close the bug. Sorry for the alarm, but on Wednesday it drove me almost mad when it wouldn't run.

Best regards,
  Holger
