I know - but it was the closest thing to...
I found that it somehow bound to port 80 such that my apache server
would not start:
tg6 apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ...
(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
When i ran lsof i saw:
tg6 apache2 # lsof -i :80
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
ispell 3581 apache 4u IPv4 1146680251 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
Killing that process allowed me to start apache.
Why on earth would ispell (or aspell) bind to port 80?
Aspell does not have any network code. I assume the same is true for
ispell. The only thing I can think of is that perhapses it is not
really "ispell" the spell checker. Next time this happens perhapses
you should look figure out the exact binary that is being called.
Ok thanks - just wanted to confirm that a/ispell should not really have
any reason to bind to a network port (eg no automatic update of
dictionaries from a remote server).
Will investigate other possibilities when/if this happens again.
Thanks again ,
Daniel
