Hi All,

I'm trying to run multiple instances ( 2 ) of Apache on a single IP address. I need this because I need the two instances to run as different users.

I've set up two config files with the following:

config-1 config-2

ServerRoot "/etc/httpd" ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

Listen 10.220.1.156:80 Listen 10.220.1.156:8080

Include conf.d/*.conf Include conf.d/*.conf

User apache User backuppc

Group apache Group backupp

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

When I start either apache it works but when I try to start both the second one doesn't start.

Error Message:

When I start config-1 first and then config-2 I get the following error message

Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443

no listening sockets available, shutting down

Unable to open logs

When I start config-2 first and the config-1 I get nothing.

I suspect the problem is loading the SSL module which in both cases is trying to listen on port 443. So short of removing the ssl.conf file from conf.d or creating duplicate conf.d directories one without the ssl.conf file is there anyway to do this.

Regards,

Tony
