Starting apache with xinetd

[Noth]

Yes I know people think this is stupid, get over it.

I can't seem to get apache2 to start I get an

"(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down"

error. Heres my xinetd config:

bash-2.05b# cat /etc/xinetd.d/www
# default: on
# description: web server.

service www
{
socket_type = stream
user = apache
port = 80
wait = no
only_from = localhost
server = /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
server_args = start
disable = no
}

I "could" probably get around this by setting apache to listen to another port, and have xinetd forwared all port 80 request to the different port..... but I don't want to do that.

That error indicates that apache (or something else) is already running and using port 80. Question, what are you using xinet.d for apache? You should be able to start it with:

Have you configured apache so it knows it's being called from xinetd? If you don't configure it properly it will try to listen on that port and will obviously conflict with xinetd.

Edit: Actually, I don't think there's a way to make apache work from xinetd. At least I couldn't find anything. Maybe you should use thttpd or some other http server instead?
