Apache2 problem

I'm new to Apache2, so please bear with me.

After emerging Apache and setting it all up, I tried:

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

But was only met by this error:

[crit] (92)Protocol not available: make_sock: for address [::]:8080, apr_socket_opt_set: (IPV6_V6ONLY)
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I looked on the web for this but the only sites I found relate this problem to the Windows distro of Apache.
Can anyone help?

8080 is hardly the standard port for a webserver - though it should work if you want it to.
Have you looked at the output of

I'm having exactly the same error (except port 80, not 8080) after upgrading apache2 ( emerge -uD world). Netstat indictes that port 80 is available.

I have got the same problem. tried out different ports as well. Nothing changed. apache didn't like any port.

I have the same problem looking for a solution for hrs now.

ermerged apache with: emerge apache mod_php

USE says -ipv6

hosts doesn't have any ipv6 addresses in it (actually:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.88 mysystem
)

starting apache with: /etc/init.d/apache2 start
as root

didn't mess too much with the conf-files, means: didn't change anything in there which could cause this problem (imho!!!!)

All I tried up to now didn't solve this problem and I was looking through all apache posts in this forum.

Bye

you can use:

LISTEN 0.0.0.0:80

and delete -D SSL in apache conf

Okay, you DO NOT need to delete the "-D SSL" to get this to work. If you modify /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/40_mod_ssl.conf and change "Listen 443" to "Listen 0.0.0.0:443" it will work.

Sorry I'm riding on you rpost, but I got the same problem. Updated Apache to 2.0.49 (emerge -u world), etc-updated config files (nothing unusual here) and upon restart Apache says this:

In /usr/lib/apache2/conf/apache2.conf change

You are SO good... Phew... Praise, applause, thanx and so on...

Any chance we could get a tech advice on why and how this happens after an Apache upgrade?

Furthermore, I have to say that another strange thing happened after upgrading. Modules didn't load because the sumbolic link /etc/apache2/modules/ was pointing to /usr/lib/apache2 instead of /usr/lib/apache2/modules... Strange uh? This prevented Apache from starting (blablabla.so couldn't be found) and once I corrected the link, the other problem appeared.

Anyway: THANKS again

I had the same problem as eXess and I did like gpreston sad. And it worked! But want to know why it worked? Why need to change the ports - 80 to 0.0.0.0:80 ? Can someone explain me this?

Sorry for my english
