I'm installing a group of old OpenACS sites on a "managed server" at Rackspace and have run into a problem I just can't seem to figure out.
The two sites that need to run on port 80 are unable to bind to it - I get "permission denied" errors. I've checked all the usual things - the sites are being started by daemontools, so the prebind is done by the root user, and I do have the -b <ip>:80 in both run scripts. Judging from Google, those are the two most common errors. I'm using nsd 4.0.10; I know that's ancient history but the client didn't want me to upgrade anything and it was working fine on the old system. This is the first time I've used it on a 64 bit system (Redhat), for what that's worth. I did build it from scratch on the new system, of course. When I first started working on this Apache had a "Listen 80" statement in the config file and I thought that was the culprit, but it has now been changed to specify its own (different) IP address and restarted several times. So that's not it. I don't see anything wrong in my setup and I also don't see anything suspicious in netstat that looks like the port is in use. I've asked the Rackspace folks to look at the system and confirm for me that nothing else has grabbed the port, but I'm sure not seeing it. Are there other gotchas I can check for, or known problems I'm unaware of? thanks, janine --- Janine Ohmer (formerly Sisk) President/CEO of furfly, LLC 503-693-6407 -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <lists...@listserv.aol.com> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
