httpd.service failed to start with an error "Cannot assign requested address: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address" during system boot

httpd.service fails to start during system boot when both of the following cases are satisfied: - httpd is configured to listen on a specific IP address in its configuration - NetworkManager.service is disabled

The following messages can be seen when attempting to start the httpd service during system boot:

• During boot systemd executes httpd.service before the network is completely up and running, which causes httpd to fail. This was reported in Fedora 17 as Bug 921566 - httpd does not wait for network start and fails. When it is going to be fixed in RHEL7?

Is there a fix available for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352139 in RHEL7?

The issue occurs with IPv6 and it is not fixed by the newer package than systemd-219-42.el7.

Environment

• httpd-2.4.6-45.el7.x86_64
• NetworkManager-1.4.0-12.el7.x86_64

Apache – Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address

apache http webserver

Previously my IP was 10.0.6.63 , the apache server was working fine.

On reboot DHCP changed my IP address to 10.0.15.12 Now when i try to start apache it is giving me following error

Starting httpd: [Fri Jan 11 16:17:28 2013] [warn] module wsgi_module is already loaded, skipping (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 10.0.6.63:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs

Best Solution

If you are working with a moving IP address do no use IP based virtualhosts but named based virtulahosts .

Linux – amazon ec2 – apache server restart issue.

I ran into this problem when I installed apache from source, but then tried to run

which was using a pre-installed version of apache. The stop directive in /etc/init.d/httpd was not removing the httpd.pid file that was created when starting the source-installed version of apache.

To determine if this is also the reason for your problem, find where the httpd.pid file is getting set when you run

If you installed from source and apache2 is living in /usr/local/apache2, then the httpd.pid file should get created in /usr/local/apache2/logs. When you stop apache by running

this file should get removed. So to test if the httpd.pid file is causing your problem, start apache by calling

and locate the httpd.pid file. Then try stopping apache by using

If the original httpd.pid file is still present, then that is why apache is unable to start when you use

To get my /etc/init.d/httpd file to work correctly, I explicitly put the call to apachectl in the start and stop methods:

Apache – Starting apache fails (could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80)

Worked for me running this command:
