I have Ubuntu 11.10

When I run the command to start apache2:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

I get the following error message:

Starting web server apache2
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName (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 Action 'start' failed.

I run this command in order to get the process that is using the port 80:

sudo netstat -ltnp | grep ':80'

Which returns this output:

tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      1176/

But if I try to kill the process: 

sudo kill -9 1176

It doesn't kill it, if I run again the netstat command still appears listening and apache start fails.

Any suggestions?

what is the process name for 1176? ps -fp 1176 – jippie Apr 15 '12 at 7:51

When you kill it via -9, it still has the same PID ? It can be that another process is monitoring and restarting this server, try pstree – astropanic Apr 15 '12 at 8:49
