hello.
I just ran a

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and I'm getting this error

Restarting web server: apache2(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)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
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
 failed!

Then I ran

netstat -lnp | grep :80

and then this was the output

tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      2057/apache2 

I don't know what that means. Some help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
John

I don't know if I did this correctly, but I did

killall -9 2057

then started apache2 back up, it worked. but just wondering if this is the proper way of doing it. I read an article, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1636667 where its the case of the ssl certs.
Is there a way around this?

thanks,
John
