Apache - It Works! [SOLVED]

[scoobynz]

OK, I have nuked my server – trying to install a start-up script for rtorrent from here;

http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=256.0

This has obviously interfered with the apache/apache2 set-up – not my strongest area.

If I go to http://www.mydomain.com, all i get is a white page saying “It Works!” I assume that this is the default apache2 page, is this the index.html kept at var/www?

If I try to go to any other page in my domain, e.g.http://www.mydomain.com/admin or http://www.mydomain.com/nzbgetweb etc all I get are “Not Found, The requested URL /xxxxxx was not found on this server.

When I try to restart apache2, via /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, I get the following error;

Code: Select all

bubba:/home/craig# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
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
 failed!

OK, so I found out what was running on port 80 via;

Code: Select all

netstat -lnp | grep '0.0.0.0:80'

which told me the process was apache. So I killed this process. And then restarted the webserver. Now my pages load (e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/admin) but http://www.mydomain.com, still gives me “It Works!”

I have tried removing and reinstalling the bubba-backend package, but this does not fix the problem - as a matter of fact all I get are errors;

Code: Select all

bubba:/home/craig# apt-get remove bubba-backend

So, it appears that I have muddled up the apache config. I need to obviously stop this process apache starting on boot and to point the server away from the file that is giving “It Works!” to the correct place – wherever that is.

Can anybody help me, I am out of my depth! Any assistance much appreciated.

Regards,

Well,

I have done a bit of tinkering with success. I found that I had duplicate files in my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ folder. I had a file called “default”, which I removed. Now I only have the file named “bubba.”

I also had a folder called /etc/apache/ which contained index.html etc. I renamed this to apache_old, restarted and everything now ok.
