Can't access dashboard

[sweevo1979]

Hi,

Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Desktop. Was working perfectly fine over Christmas but am currently struggling to get access to http://hda. Tried restarting apache 2, received the following.

Code: Select all

[Wed Jan 02 19:57:25 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 87: ulimit: error setting limit (Operation not permitted) apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [Wed Jan 02 19:57:25 2013] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (13)Permission denied: 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.

Error logs empty, access log shows me successfully accessing it via Win7 on December 28th.

Ran the troubleshooter, got the following.

Using the Network Troubleshooter, I failed step 8 - HDA Dashboard accessible?. Here's a paste to help troubleshoot: http://sprunge.us/QMUg

Hope that helps

Have you tried a reboot? Has there been a power outage? Are you using Greyhole? Ensure the root partition has space left.

[sweevo1979]

No power outages, Greyhole's running, reboot unsuccessful - same error. Only thing on the root partition is the OS, 64Gb SSD.

Sounds like the install may have not been successful. Check the hda install log file in /root directory for errors.

If so, you may have to reinstall.

[sweevo1979]

According to the logs, it installed fine. Until apparently a day or two ago it was working fine, and checking on here it's reporting as working fine now. Just Apache's suddenly decided to stop working :\

It's rather confusing to say the least.

Did you in any way modify the apache configuration? How about OS updates?

[sweevo1979]

Haven't touched Apache configs as far as I'm aware - first time back on Linux after an age being forced to use Windows servers in work

Only things showing an update are Poppler and its associated libs on New Years Day.

Might consider running updates again. You can do this command line as follows:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

You may need to also run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Check the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory and ensure there are not any stray .conf files that might be causing issues. I have seen this happen with some apps in the past where the install/uninstall does not work correctly.

If you want to post a listing here, we would be glad to help.

Sorted it. Ended up removing Apache and reinstalling it

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Good to hear. Would like to know what the root cause was, but at least it's working.
