Re: Getting http to work

[Monah Baki]

It worked!

I switched my ext_addr to my 192.168.60.129, manually ran
/usr/sbin/httpd rather than "rcctl" or "/etc/rc.d/httpd start", did a
ps -ax and saw httpd server running. Rebooted the machine, the httpd
daemon came back up automatically. Switched the ext_addr to "*"
rebooted, the httpd server still came up as running.

Very strange.

Re: Getting http to work

  Oops, don't know what happened to my config that I added below. Sorry
about that.

Anyways, the only thing I recall was that I used the real server name
instead of "default" and it worked and I have not touched the configuration
since then :)

Re: Getting http to work

[Vijay Sankar]

  Hi,

Can you try using the name of the server instead of "default"?

I sort of recall something like this from a couple of years ago but it has
run without any problems for me.

For example, I had "default" instead of the server's name and it did not
work. Once I changed to the following, there were no issues and it has run
like this  since

vault.lab.foretell.ca$ ls -l
/etc/httpd.conf                                
 
 
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  558 Dec 28  2015 /etc/httpd.conf

vault.lab.foretell.ca$ more
/etc/httpd.conf                                
  
 
prefork 2
chroot "/home/distros"
           server "vault.lab.foretell.ca" {
                listen on * port 80
                directory auto index
                }

           types {
                   text/css               
css
                   text/html              
html htm
                   text/txt

           }

Hope this helps,

Re: Getting http to work

[Kevin Gerrard]

OpenBSD 6.0
I had this happen to me a few days ago. I set httpd.conf up to use "*"  at
first just to cut down on hiccups. When I had it up and working with php,
and mariadb I changed   "*" to"192.168.3.254" and restarted
httpd.conf. It did not work, even after a reboot. So I put the "*" back in
just  so I could go populate mariadb 10 and php 7. After reading these
emails today it made me remember that, and so I logged into it and changed
it back to the "192.168.3.254" instead of "*", and restarted httpd. I
thought I was going to reproduce the hiccup but instead the dadgum thing
worked!!!

No problems here at all but I did want to say for whatever reason it was,
this exact anomaly did happen to me once also, however upon trying to
reproduce it I could not. 

The only thing I can think of is that I "might" not have rebooted? I really
doubt that is it but a lot on my mind lately and it could easily have been.

Some ideas:
You might have an instance of httpd running in the background stopping a
new one from binding to the port.

Run the following commands and examine the output to check what could be
there

# netstat -na -f inet | grep LISTEN
# ps ax

Kill all running instances of httpd, or anything else that is binding to
port 80.

Once you've done that, try starting httpd in no-fork mode and see what
it says:

# httpd -dv

If it still doesn't work, try a different port (change 80 to  for
instance).

Re: Getting http to work

[Monah Baki]

# netstat -na -f inet | grep LISTEN
tcp  0  0  127.0.0.1.25   *.*LISTEN
tcp  0  0  *.22   *.*LISTEN
# httpd -dv
startup
parent: send server: Can't assign requested address
# logger exiting, pid 24061
server exiting, pid 96224
server exiting, pid 68259
server exiting, pid 94930


It's a fresh install so I wasn't expecting any ports listening. Even
if I changed to port 8080 same issue.


Thanks

 Did you try

 yet?

 Does it report the same error with that in place?

Getting http to work

[Monah Baki]

Hi all,

Installed a fresh install of OpenBSD 6.0 on VMWare workstation and
wanted to run default webserver.

In the messages logs I find the following error:

 httpd[23792]: parent: send server: Can't assign requested address


em0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0c:29:b3:81:f8
index 1 priority 0 llprio 3
groups: egress
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex,master)
status: active
inet 192.168.60.129 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.60.255

In my httpd.conf all I changed was the "ext_addr" Macro, everything else as is.

$ cat /etc/httpd.conf
# $OpenBSD: httpd.conf,v 1.14 2015/02/04 08:39:35 florian Exp $

#
# Macros
#
ext_addr="192.168.60.129"
# A minimal default server
server "default" {
listen on $ext_addr port 80
}




Thank you
Monah
