https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343865 Summary: apache2 starts too early & fails bind due to missing interface on boot Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Apache AssignedTo: bnc-team-apache@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: cd@securityfocus.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=184599) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=184599) My boot.msg Hello, I edited /etc/apache2/listen.conf to bind Apache to the IP address of a specific interface: Listen 10.160.20.248:80 Now, when I boot, the apache2 service will fail to start. This worked fine in SUSE 9.3. Looking at boot.msg, the reason is: Starting httpd2 (prefork) (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 10.160.20.248:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down But later on in boot.msg, the interface is brought up: done eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) eth0 IP address: 10.160.20.248/24 If I start Apache from the command prompt (/etc/init.d/apache2 start), it will start fine. I have 6 interfaces on this machine; perhaps that's causing the 'network' service to take a while to start and causing this problem? The full contents of boot.msg is attached.
